Question

Confronted by many problems presented by an active volcano, scientific workers may ask all the following questions except ___________.

• A. Where do the lavas and gases come from
• B. When did the volcano first began to erupt
• C. What makes the gods express their anger through volcanoes
• D. How does the volcano work

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

What makes the gods express their anger through volcanoes

"Confronted by many problems presented by, let us say, an active volcano, we may risk; what are the lavas made of? How does the volcano work and how is the heat generated? Where do the lavas
and gases come from? When did the volcano first begin to erupt and when is it likely to erupt again." - from this paragraph in the passage we can deduce that scientific workers when confronted by problems posed by an active volcano will not ask the question 'what makes the gods express their anger through volcano'. So, option C is the answer.
