To determine which example is used to connect ideas in an informative text about volcanoes, we need to analyze each option.
1) "In conclusion, volcanoes can be found all over the world but most are found along the 'Ring of Fire'": This example does connect the ideas by summarizing the main point about the distribution of volcanoes along the "Ring of Fire." It provides a conclusion that wraps up the information about the global distribution of volcanoes.
2) "Volcanoes are dangerous and can cause a lot of damage": This statement does not connect ideas in an informative text about volcanoes. It provides a general statement about the hazards and damages caused by volcanoes, but it does not connect multiple ideas or provide a cohesive flow of information.
3) "Some volcanoes such as Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Ranier are dormant and have not erupted in thousands of years": This example connects the ideas by providing specific examples of dormant volcanoes that have not erupted for a long time. This information adds detail and context to the discussion of different types of volcanoes.
4) "Merriam Webster defines a volcano as 'a vent in the crust of the earth or another planet or a moon from which usually molten or hot rock and steam issue.'": This example provides a definition of a volcano, which can be useful in an informative text. However, it does not explicitly connect ideas or add coherence to the text.
Based on the analysis, the correct example that connects ideas in an informative text about volcanoes is: "In conclusion, volcanoes can be found all over the world but most are found along the 'Ring of Fire'."
