Read the story below. arrange the answer choices to match the order of the processes listed in the story.
Stoney the rock went on a journey around the world. He began his journey from his home at the top of a mountain. From the top of the mountain he rolled all the way down, around the winding roads, across many fields and into a ditch. He realized he had been weathered and eroded so much that he was in many tiny pieces. He gathered his pieces and met up with some friends and decided to cement and compact to each other to form one unit and travel together. They were then hit with an unexpected surprise when a subduction zone heated and pressed them down through the layers of the earth. They then reached the mantle where they melted from the extreme heat. It didn't last long though. They were then catapulted out of the mantle through a volcanic mountain where they then cooled and hardened into beautiful, glassy rocks.

To answer the question, we need to understand the processes mentioned in the story and arrange the answer choices accordingly.
1. Sediments: Stoney the rock is weathered and eroded into many tiny pieces.
2. Sedimentary: Stoney's pieces gather together and compact to form one unit.
3. Metamorphic: Stoney and his friends are pressed down through the layers of the earth in a subduction zone.
4. Igneous: Stoney and his friends reach the mantle where they melt from extreme heat.
5. Igneous: Stoney and his friends are catapulted out of the mantle through a volcanic mountain and cool to form beautiful, glassy rocks.
So the correct arrangement of the answer choices is:
1. Sediments
2. Sedimentary
3. Metamorphic
4. Igneous
5. Igneous
