gentle slope near the base with somewhat quiet eruptions

Answer 1

The correct response regarding the features of most stratovolcanoes is:

steep sides near the top with thick, slow-moving lava.

Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, are characterized by their steep profiles and are built up from multiple layers of hardened lava, tephra, and volcanic ash. They typically erupt viscous lava that does not flow easily, leading to steeper slopes near the summit.
