Yes, Mount Pelee is part of the Lesser Antilles volcanic arc. The arc is formed by the subduction of the North American Plate under the Caribbean Plate.

Here you can get more information and see a Map of it:

i believe it tis

cuz i mean its really rare for a volcano to be a loner...(with the exception of a random hot spot or something for the time being) most of the time is occurs when the plates of the earth shift...converging: which creates mountains/volcanoes by pushing up or subducting, diverging which is usually under the sea and yet, it just creates more land and its considered a rift
and then theres transform: which is just a fault and there is no volcanoes
so chances are: when in doubt, a volcano IS part of a chain

Yes.
From Wikipedia:

Mount Pelée (French: Montagne Pelée, "Bald Mountain") is an active volcano on the northern tip of the French overseas département of Martinique in the Caribbean. It is a stratovolcano, its volcanic cone composed of layers of volcanic ash and hardened lava.

Instead, name a volcano that is not a part of a chain of volcanoes?
