Brief Explanations

Para determinar el significado de "sediment", analizamos la oración: "Over time the sediment is compressed and hardens into solid rock". La opción a ("bits of rock, sand, and minerals") es la correcta porque los sedimentos son partículas como roca, arena y minerales que, al ser comprimidos, forman roca sólida. La opción b se refiere a capas de roca (no a los sedimentos antes de formar roca), la c a lava/magma (no sedimentos) y la d a calor y presión (factores de formación, no el sedimento en sí).

Answer:

a. bits of rock, sand, and minerals
