Big book Test 4 Section 4 Q4

I understand the second blank. But i dont understand the logic behind the first blank. It clearly states that Mt Helens was dormant for a long time, shouldn’t the first blank be ~dormant as well ?

Like “although I am calm than most of my friends, my calmness belies my violent nature” ?

I am doing contrast with although, and i am contrasting with the whole of the second sentence (or phrase idk , after the comma part).

Please explain why I am wrong.

Your logic is fine, but they made sure non of the answer choices supported that line of reasoning, so you need to consider the contrast differently.

The contrast here is “even though its explosive, it appears dormant”
