Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
For Part A:
- Option A: The blast destroyed land and poisoned water, leading to starvation - fits the immediate effects on people of Sumbawa and Lombok.
- Option B: Compares to global climate change (not immediate local effects).
- Option C: Land remained fertile (contradicts destruction leading to starvation).
- Option D: Rebuilding (not immediate effect, more long - term).

For Part B:
- Option B details no food growth, no fish, animals killed, and 90,000 + starving (supports Option A of Part A about starvation from land/water destruction).
- Option A is a general statement about the eruption's power (not specific to immediate local effects on Sumbawa/Lombok people).
- Option C is about outside knowledge (not relevant to local immediate effects).
- Option D is about immediate deaths (but Option B gives more comprehensive support for starvation due to land/water issues).

# Answer:
Part A: A. The blast destroyed the land and poisoned the water, resulting in the deaths of over 90,000 people from starvation.
Part B: B. "No fruits or vegetables would grow. There were no fish to catch; almost every animal had been killed. Trapped without food on their ruined lands, more than 90,000 people on Sumbawa and the nearby Island of Lombok starved to death."
