These phenomena increased a bit the next day. In the afternoon, Higaturu was shaken by a mild earthquake, the first of many that day. On January 17, the vapor plume was more vigorous and carried a little ash. Earthquakes occurred about every 7 minutes.Three days of tremor preceded the eruption starting 18 January 1951.

Mount Erebus did not erupt in 2011. The last known eruption of Mount Erebus in Antarctica occurred in 2018.
The Mount Lamington eruption in Papua New Guinea occurred in 1951, causing significant devastation to the surrounding area. Restoration efforts took several years, with substantial recovery work continuing into the 1960s. Immediate rebuilding focused on infrastructure and housing, while long-term ecological recovery took decades. Overall, the complete restoration of the affected areas was a prolonged process spanning many years.
An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future
Mount Vesuvius last erupted in 1944. So, approximately 2000 years ago.
An active volcano is one that is erupting or is likely to erupt.A dormant volcano is one that has not erupted for a long time (but is still possibly active).An extinct volcano is one that is not likely to erupt again.

Mount Rainer in USA,these are called dormant volcanoes.
It erupted a long time ago: December 17th, 1707 till January 1st 1708
An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future
Given that the eruption of Mt Lamington occurred long before written records or human habitation, it is unknown, but unlikely whether it came as a shock.
Mount Vesuvius last erupted in 1944. So, approximately 2000 years ago.
False for example Mount Shasta is still considered an active volcano but erupted in the 1700s
