Question: 242

5. This passage would most likely appear in

  • A. a newspaper
  • B. a science textbook
  • C. an adventure novel
  • D. a safety manual

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

B is correct. This passage explains how volcanoes are formed and the nature of volcanic eruptions using the scientific terminology and strictly factual presentation typical of information presented in a science textbook. There is nothing timely about the information, so it is not likely to be from a newspaper article as in choice A. There is no evidence of a plot or characters, so you can easily eliminate choice C. There is no mention of safety, so choice D cannot be correct.
