1.) The article states how it is still an active volcano today.
2.) The answer is B. This had been long predicted by scientists, and they knew that the eruption was coming, and the third sentence literally states it was no surprise, which cancels out option a. The most devastating eruption so far in history was not Mt. St. Helens. It was Mt. Vesuvius in Italy, so c is incorrect. There were also several more devastating natural disasters after this, which cancels out d.
3.) The answer is C. An eruption wouldn't have allowed snowflakes to form. Ash is one of the main things spewed out by volcanoes.
4.) It says in the passage that 57 people were killed. It gives no evidence of them all being scientists. The answer is d.
5.) The answer is d.
