Question

Read the excerpt from "Geysers and Volcanoes."

Geysers erupt more often than volcanoes. Some geysers, such as Old Faithful, can erupt as often as every hour. Volcanoes are much less active, however. Most are quiet for years. Kilauea volcano in Hawaii is unusual. This volcano has been erupting without stopping since 1983. It may be the most active volcano in the world.

Which signal word in the passage is used to contrast geysers and volcanoes?

A. erupt
B. however
C. unusual
D. without

Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Keywords like "however," "but," "rather," and "contrarily" can show when something is being contrasted, because it introduces an element that the first item does not share with the second one.
