Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate

In addition to the great ridges and volcanic chains, the oceans conceal another form of
undersea mountains: the strange guyot, or flat-topped seamount. No marine geologist even
suspected the existence of these isolated mountains until they were discovered by geologist
Harry H. Hess in 1946.
He was serving at the time as naval officer on a ship equipped with a fathometer. Hess named
these truncated peaks for the nineteenth-century Swiss-born geologist Arnold Guyot, who had
served on the faculty of Princeton University for thirty years. Since then, hundreds of guyots
have been discovered in every ocean but the Arctic. Like offshore canyons, guyots present a
challenge to oceanographic theory. They are believed to be extinct volcanoes. Their flat tops
indicate that they once stood above or just below the surface, where the action of waves
leveled off their peaks. Yet today, by definition, their summits are at least 600 feet below the
surface, and some are as deep as 8,200 feet. Most lie between 3,200 feet and 6,500 feet. Their
tops are not really flat but slope upward to a low pinnacle at the center. Dredging from the tops
of guyots has recovered basalt and coral rubble, and that would be expected from the eroded
tops of what were once islands. Some of this material is over 80 million years old. Geologists
think the drowning of the guyots involved two processes: The great weight of the volcanic
mountains depressed the sea floor beneath them, and the level of the sea rose a number of
times, especially when the last Ice Age ended, some 8,000 to 11,000 years ago.
Question 44: What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
Question 49: According to the passage, most guyots are found at a depth of _____.
