Answer to Question 1

You should choose the island with the shield volcano because lava flows usually advance slowly enough so that people can get out of the way. The pyroclastic flows and lahars associated with composite volcanoes move so rapidly that people in their path have little chance of survival.

Answer to Question 2

D
