A student has taken the following notes:
A team of researchers led by Guanning Pang discovered that inactive volcanoes in the Cascade Range have large underground magma chambers 3 to 9 miles below their surface.
Some of these volcanoes have been dormant for thousands of years.
Researchers detected magma by tracking earthquake waves that slowed down when passing through chambers of magma consisting of 3% to 32% melted rock.
Magma chambers need over 35% liquid rock to potentially erupt.
These findings challenge the scientific theory that magma chambers only exist right before eruptions.
The discovery could improve volcano monitoring and eruption prediction methods.
A student wants to undermine a scientific assumption about magma chambers. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Researchers detected magma chambers by tracking earthquake waves through partially melted rock, improving volcano monitoring and eruption prediction methods for dormant volcanoes.
By tracking earthquake waves, Pang found that magma reservoirs sit 3 to 9 miles below the Cascade Range volcanoes’ surface and need over 35% liquid magma to potentially erupt.
Magma chambers need over 35% liquid rock to potentially erupt, refuting the assumption that volcanoes dormant for thousands of years have melted rock below.
Scientists found inactive Cascade Range volcanoes with large magma chambers below their surface, challenging the theory that magma chambers only exist right before eruptions.
The desirability of minimizing the use of adverbs, especially those ending in -ly (e.g., “obediently”), in prose fiction is a point of agreement among many novelists, including Graham Greene, who described adverbs as “damaging to a writer.” To investigate whether -ly adverb avoidance is associated with literary achievement, statistician Ben Blatt calculated the frequency with which such adverbs occur in the works of E.M. Forster and other prominent English-language novelists and found that there is a positive correlation between low -ly adverb frequency and novels’ perceived literary merit.

It makes a claim about a trait of prose fiction, details an observation about that trait’s increasing proliferation, and then makes a supposition based on that observation.
It mentions a popular strategy for crafting prose fiction, outlines a benefit of that strategy, and then presents research that provides a more nuanced view of that benefit.
It describes a phenomenon inherent to prose fiction, summarizes a procedure used to investigate that phenomenon, and then notes a benefit of that procedure.
It introduces a widely held view on prose fiction, offers an example of what a proponent of that view has asserted, and then discusses a study examining data relevant to that view.
Silver is one of a variety of potentially useful trace elements contained in the chemical-rich brine that remains after seawater is purified through desalination.

Guadalupe Romero Villanueva et al. conducted radiocarbon analysis of paint used in rock art at the Patagonian archaeological site Cueva Huenul I, revealing that images of a comblike motif date to as early as 8,000 years ago, predating other paintings in the region by several millennia. The motif was subsequently reproduced multiple times at the site over the next 3,000 years, a period coinciding with extremely arid conditions and slightly negative population growth .The motif may therefore have functioned to help preserve cultural knowledge during a time of ecological and demographic stress.
Which choice best describes the function of the underlined portion in the text as a whole?

It identifies a consideration that factored into an interpretation of the rock art at Cueva Huenul I that is presented in the text.
It provides context that informs the text’s claim about why the peoples of Patagonia chose Cueva Huenul I as a culturally significant site.
It emphasizes the historical conditions that explain why production of the painted motif described in the text abruptly ceased after 3,000 years of continued use.
It explains the environmental circumstances that account for the rarity of rock art dating to the same period as the motif discussed in the text.
