Read the two sources about the eruption of Mount St. Helens. Text A (Science website): Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980. The website reports that 57 people died and that the eruption triggered a massive landslide and ash cloud. It emphasizes that scientists' monitoring and hazard zones saved lives because many people stayed away from the most dangerous areas. Text B (Memoir excerpt): A local resident's memoir says the eruption happened on May 8, 1980, and claims "over 100" people died because warnings were confusing and officials reacted too slowly. The writer argues that the event shows how authorities often underestimate natural disasters. Which choice best identifies the conflict between the texts?
