(1) earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) the plates are called tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) they can move because earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) plates may also collide. (8) when that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) for example, the collision of the plate carrying the indian subcontinent created the himalayan mountains when it collided with the asian plate. which statement about this paragraph is accurate?

Option (2), (4), (5), (6) and (9)

Explanation:

The earths's crust is comprised of numerous small and large plates known as the lithospheric plates or the tectonic plates, and this plates are constantly in motion over the hot dense and viscous asthenosphere.

This plate motion takes place in three different ways, such as-

Due to the collision between oceanic and continental plates, the denser plate gets subducted and undergoes partial melting as a result of which the magma forces to come out to the surface forming volcanoes.

The areas that are near to this plate boundaries frequently experiences earthquakes and volcanic eruptions depending upon its intensity.

Due to the collision between the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate, the Indo-Australian plate being more dense getting subducted forming the great Himalaya mountains.

Thus, the most accurate option are (2), (4), (5), (6) and (9).

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
