Which is the best paraphrase of the information in the passage, to be added to a research essay about the need for renewable
energy sources?
a). none of these choices represent a useful paraphrase of the information
from the passage.
b). wind energy is one of the oldest forms of renewable energy, as people
have been using some form of a windmill since at least ancient egyptian
times. people even use wind power today, mostly in the american west.
c.) renewable energy is so called "clean" energy that does not harm the
environment in way. this is an alternative to coal and other fossil fuels
that cause harmful byproducts that hurt the environment. these sources of
power also can run out, so renewable energy sources, like wind, should be
considered viable options.
d). we need to use renewable energy sources to keep our world healthy. one
problem facing our world is global warming, a rise in the earth's
temperature. global warming is likely caused by pollution created when
people use fossil fuels such as natural gas and coal fossil fuels give us
energy, but they create pollution and they cannot be renewed. that means
that once people have used them, they cannot be replaced. wind energy,
on the other hand, does not pollute and will never be used up.
