Reading the passage
This asks for a detail the writer actually provides. We have general claims about electricity sources and two concrete projects: solar in Brazil and wind in India. Check whether the specific example or measurement in each answer appears in that discussion.
Working the answers
- A
Fossil fuels are discussed generally, but no specific fossil-fuel plant or system is described. The two detailed projects use solar and wind.
- BCorrect
Indian firms “began manufacturing turbines,” and the locally manufactured equipment helped utilities expand their wind-energy use profitably. That's a specific project benefiting from local equipment production.
- C
We are told that renewable sources can reduce transmission costs by being closer to consumers. We aren't given an example of the added costs incurred by a particular fossil-fuel plant.
- D
We learn that India built three plants, but not how many people a modern turbine plant can serve.
- E
The projects have starting dates, but no approximate period is given for developing local technical capacity.
