Questions about volcanoes?

I'm trying to help one of my ESOL students with his science schoolwork. Can anyone help answer the following questions? I tried looking in his textbook but couldn't find the answers in it. There wasn't much about volcanoes at all. Science is not my best subject.

1. A wide, gently sloping mountain made of mainly basalt lava is a _____ volcano.

2. A volcano that erupts lava and ash is called a _____________ volcano.

3. A volcano that erupts only ash is a ______________ volcano.

Thanks so much!
