Answer:
D. (A volcanic) eruption created an island in the sea near Japan.
Explanation:
D is the answer because it is the only answer choice that tells the reader how the island was created. The question asks for a sentence that tells you how the island was created. The other sentences only talk about the length of the island or the distance of the island from other islands in Japan. Therefore D is the answer because it tells you that the island was created by a volcanic eruption.

Rome was initially a city-state with about 50 square miles of territory to sustain itself. With small farms, the citizens could not split them up between their sons and so sought extra land for them. The surrounding city-states were bent on the same need, so they clashed, with Romme losing some, but on average winning most fights. As winners they took land and expanded.
<span>This expansion created more strife, and expansion, leading to dominance of Italy. As a rising power, cities in southern Gaul (France), Spain and Sicily sought Rome's assistance, and as a land power it allied itself with Carthage, a sea power. This arrangement came to an end when Rome supported Greek cities in Sicily against Carthaginian encroachment.

At this stage Rome dominated the Western Mediterranean. </span>
