Question 1 of 5 Volcanoes are dangerous in various ways, and one of these is lateral
blasts, which are small eruptions that aren't part of the main thing. It
can be extremely dangerous because most focus on the top, not the
sides of it
Which of the following most effectively revises the passage for clarity and
consistency in style and tone?
O A. Of all the dangers posed by volcanoes, one of the most serious is
lateral blasts Lateral blasts are small eruptions that occur on the
sides of a mountain rather than at the top. Because people tend to
focus on the summit of a volcano, they rarely know to watch out
for lateral blasts.

O B. It is often said that lateral blasts pose a great danger to those who
would be near a volcano due to their unexpected and destructive
power. Like, if you focus on the top of a volcano, rather than its
sides, you put yourself in great danger of being caught by the
violent effects of a volcano that's erupting!

C. Lateral blasts are these crazy eruptions that occur along the sides
of volcanoes and together with other dangers from volcanoes that
threaten people living close to active volcanoes, constitute a real,
but often overlooked danger to individuals who are near the
volcano's summit.

OD. If you live anywhere near a volcano, watch out for lateral blasts.
This can save your life from them because they are often
unexpected eruptions from the sides. Don't get distracted by the
top of the volcano because they can cause great harm to you in ways that you might not expect.

In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men—yes, black men as well as white men—would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check that has come back marked “insufficient funds.” but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. and so we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and security of justice. in this section of the speech, analyze martin luther king’s connection between a defaulted promissory note and the lack of freedom experienced by african americans. which option offers the best analysis? question 3 options: mlk creates this analogy to communicate that america has enough freedom for all, but it needs to live up to its promises. mlk makes the analogy that america has run out of freedom. not everyone deserves to have it. mlk communicates that america should equally distribute funds to all citizens. everyone deserves equal access to the government’s money. mlk demonstrates that america is improving in equality and should keep the forward momentum.
