Like most cinder cones Paricutin was fed by mafic magma.
Paricutin erupted mafic lava.
They can. Composite volcanoes vary in what they erupt. Many composite volcanoes are composed of a mixture of mafic, felsic, and intermediate rock. However, in most cases intermediated or felsic rock predominates.
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens produced dacite, which has an intermediate-felsic composition.
Quartz monzonite ranges from intermediate to felsic.
Ultramafic

Neither. The terms mafic and felsic refer to the composition of igneous rocks, which are dominated by silicate minerals. Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of carbonate minerals. The terms mafic and felsic do no apply to it.

Quartz monzonite ranges from intermediate to felsic.
Monzonite is an intermediate rock.
Ultramafic
Composite volcanoes can erupt both mafic and felsic material, but intermediate material is the most common.
No. The terms mafic and felsic apply to igneous rocks. Limestone is a sedimentary/biochemical rock and so cannot be said to be mafic, felsic, or intermediate.
felsic, intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic.
Mafic intermediate and Felsic
are a mixture of both mafic and felsic rocks
