C. In conclusion, volcanoes can be found all over the world but most are found along the Ring of Fire
C. In conclusion, volcanoes can be found all over the world but most are found along the Ring of Fire
To determine which of the options is an example used to connect ideas in an informative text about volcanoes, we need to analyze each option and see if it provides a logical connection between different ideas related to volcanoes.
A. "Volcanoes are dangerous and can cause a lot of damage" simply provides information about the danger and damage caused by volcanoes. It does not connect any separate ideas in the text.
B. "Some volcanoes such as My. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Rainier are dormant and have not erupted in thousands of years" introduces the concept of dormant volcanoes but does not directly connect other ideas.
C. "In conclusion, volcanoes can be found all over the world but most are found along the Ring of Fire" is a clear example of connecting ideas. It summarizes the information provided and connects the ideas of worldwide distribution and concentration along the Ring of Fire.
D. "Merriam Webster defined a volcano as a vent in the crust of the earth or another planet or a moon from which usually molten or hot rock and steam issue" provides a definition of a volcano but does not connect multiple ideas in the text.
Therefore, the answer is option C: "In conclusion, volcanoes can be found all over the world but most are found along the Ring of Fire" as it connects ideas about volcano distribution.
To arrive at this answer, one would need to carefully read the text and analyze the logical connections between the ideas presented. By understanding the main points and their relationships, you can identify the statement that serves as a logical connection.
