All right Shmoopers next question on the volcano there we go as using the passage

00:07

correlation on line 16 right here most nearly means what all right line 69 [text on screen]

00:11

let's cruise down here and look at it what are they saying although this is a

00:14

fascinating correlation there are too many atoms and too many volcanoes

00:17

expeditions on cycle cycle alone all right so this is a fascinating

00:19

correlation they're referring to the paragraph above so we've got to kind of [writing on chalkboard]

00:23

figure out what's going on there and let's preceding eruptions based on the [text on screen]

00:26

information fortnightly at every 14 days or so I'm on Aloha almost certainly ok

00:32

well the correct answer here is a connection volcanic eruptions are more [Island life]

00:36

likely to occur during a fortnightly tide so there's definitely a connection [writing on chalkboard]

00:41

between the two the author thinks there are many factors in volcanic eruptions [smoke coming out of volcano]

00:45

while tides can make it easier for a volcano to erupt well they don't

00:49

necessarily cause eruption so get rid of be a tidal maximum isn't the same as in [writing on chalkboard]

00:54

eruption and it doesn't mean an eruption will happen so there's no way

00:57

equivalence is the right choice and despite the lack of any definitive [tidal waves]

01:01

causal link the author clearly believes that tides can be a factor in eruptions [volcanic eruption]

01:05

and shows enough evidence to prove that the correlation isn't a coincidence so

01:10

get rid of D the answer is a correlation connection

01:13

well the two C words kind of work for you that time yeah we're done [student writing]
