Edubest English Programme PR2B06 4 COMPREHENSION Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
The Earth's crust is made up of huge slabs called plates. These plates fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and they sometimes move. The friction caused by the movement creates earthquakes and volcanic eruptions near the edges of the plates. This process is called plate tectonics.
What then is a volcano? A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. When pressure inside the volcanoes build up, eruptions occur. Gases and rocks shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments. Eruptions can cause lateral blasts, lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, avalanches, falling ash and floods. Volcano eruptions have been known to wipe out entire forests. An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flashfloods, earthquakes, mudflows and rockfalls.
Volcanic ash, made of pulverized rock, can be harsh, acidic and smelly. The ash can cause damage to the lungs of older people, babies and people with respiratory problems like asthma.
More than eighty percent of the earth's surface is volcanic in origin. The sea floor and some mountains were formed by numerous volcanic eruptions. Gaseous emissions from volcano formed the earth's atmosphere. There are more than one thousand five hundred active volcanoes in the world. More than half of these volcanoes are part of the 'Ring of Fire,' a region that Edubest English Programme

1. BUZZ WORD
A buzz word is a word that looks or sounds big and important in a sentence but, when analysed, means nothing.
E.g. Those who use buzz words are generally trying to impress people. The politician’s speech was nothing but a lot of false promises concealed in a series of buzz words.
2. CALL IT A DAY
When we call it a day we stop whatever we are doing, regardless of time.
E.g. “Let’s call it a day and go home,” Teddy said. After twenty years working as a postman Mr. Burr called it a day and retired.

Edubest English Programme PR2B06 27 3. CUT THE CRAP
When we ask someone to cut the crap, we ask them to stop saying things that are not true or not important.
E.g. “Hey, guys, cut the crap! You need to work toward a solution.” Tell them to cut the crap. They are just scaring the children.
4. UNDER CONTROL
If something is under control, it is manageable or not out of control.
E.g. We finally got things under control and functioning smoothly. The doctor felt she had the disease under control and would get well soon.
