Okay thank you :)

P.S. I like your name ☺

Towards the volcano, right?

Is it b?

I think it's b -- but it's not clear what's "away from the volcano." More land? The sea? What?

I know it is either a or b. I got the other ones wrong.

Were you given a picture or drawing to refer to? This makes little sense without knowing what is there.

No. I thought there would have been, but there wasn't.

No, you are not correct. "On the landward side" refers to a location or direction that is away from the sea or ocean and towards the land.

In the given options, the correct answer is A) away from the volcano.

To determine this, you can break down the phrase "on the landward side."

- "Side" refers to a particular area or direction.
- "Landward" means towards or related to the land or shore.
- "On" means located or positioned.

By combining these definitions, "on the landward side" means being situated or located towards the land, away from the sea or ocean.
