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.What is the topic sentence for this passage?

Explanation:

CHARACTERS : The characters are the people, animals or anything personified that the    story is about. Writers focus on introducing the character with enough information about their physical attributes and personality traits that the reader can visualize that character in their mind. Every story should have at least one main character. The main character is the one who determines the way the plot develops and usually resolves the problem or conflict of the story.

SETTING : The setting is the location of the story. Writers picture the scene in enough detail so that the reader can picture the scene as they read the story.

PLOT : The plot consists of the events that happen in the story. The plot should have a clear introduction, rising action, a climax, and a resolution. It should provide enough descriptions for the reader to engage with the story, which means providing suspense and conflict that is resolved at the end of the story.

Answer:

B). The study of word meanings.

Explanation:

Semantics is described as the study of varied significant meanings affiliated to words or phrases, symbols or signs, etc. in a language. It is associated with the relationship between the signifiers and signs(symbols) that helps the readers to understand the possible meanings of a word and relate the meaning of the word as per the context of the sentence(denotative or connotative meaning).

As per the question, the best definition of semantics would be 'the study of word meanings' as it primarily studies the different meanings of the words in a language. It however includes the symbolic meaning(connotatively) but it chiefly focuses on varied meanings of a particular word that aids to widen the knowledge of the readers and understand it more comprehensively. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
