RC Question 9 Explanation, by LSATHacks

DISCUSSION: Line 32 implies that minor eruptions are not “dust-spitting explosions”.

___________

1. “Less” is a vague term. An eruption that produced 2% less lava might still be a major eruption.
2. Same as A. The impact could be 1% smaller.
3. Mass and Portman say that minor eruptions don’t impact temperature (lines 30-31).
4. CORRECT. Exactly. There’s no firm dividing line, but minor eruptions spew less dust and therefore have little to no effect on the atmosphere.
5. This isn’t strong enough. Mass and Portman say that minor eruption have no effect on temperature (lines 30-31).
