Half Term Geography Homework Fun…

3 Comments

The ideal location to live; the summit of Mayon volcano in Legazpi, Manila, Philippines.

Well, I am here, doing my A2 Geography homework (which, I have you know is a very interesting subject, and absolutely no connotations of it being boring are to be given off…!!), and in this past exam paper, I stumbled across a question that had me rather amused…

Living near an active volcano can be unsafe. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

The question itself is rather an interesting one, I could write the whole 7 marks it requires just on the pro’s of living near a volcano, but the question itself – as you’ve just read it – made me so just want to put the answer:

Very.

    I don't understand how you "very" agree with the statement.

      It's asking for "what extent" I agree, thus wanting some sort of scale. Answering "yes" doesn't answer the question, whereas "very" means that I wholly agree with the statement.
