Answer 1

The correct response that describes features of most stratovolcanoes is:

**steep sides near the base with sudden, violent eruptions**

Stratovolcanoes are characterized by their steep profiles and are often associated with explosive eruptions due to the thick, viscous magma that can trap gases. They usually have layers of solidified lava flows, volcanic ash, and other volcanic debris, resulting in a stratified structure.
