The  ruins  of  the  South  Fremantle  Power  Station  have  stood  empty  since  1985,  home  only  to  urban  explorers  and  street  .  Opened  in  1951,  the  power  station  was  once  a  pillar  of  progress  for  the  expanding  energy    of  Perth.  Here  it  stood  proud  and  strong  for  34  years,  supplying  energy  to  its  surrounding  metropolis  until  1985  when  it  was  deemed  to  no  longer  be  worth  the  .  The  doors  were  shuttered,  and  the  plant's  four  tall  chimney  stacks  were  demolished,  leaving  the  rest  of  the  plant  to  rot  by  the  sea.

Correct answer: artists

Explanation: The word 'artists' fits grammatically as it is a plural noun that complements 'street,' forming the phrase 'street artists.' This aligns with the context of urban exploration, where artists often seek inspiration in abandoned places.

Meaning: 'Artists' refers to individuals who create art, often in various forms such as painting, sculpture, or performance.

Wrong options:

  • ratings: 'Ratings' is a plural noun that refers to evaluations or assessments, which does not fit the context of urban exploration.
  • usage: 'Usage' is a noun that refers to the way something is used, which does not relate to the context of street culture or exploration.
  • demands: 'Demands' is a plural noun that refers to needs or requirements, which does not fit as it does not describe people associated with the location.
  • collectors: 'Collectors' is a plural noun that refers to individuals who gather items, which does not fit the context of street culture as well as 'artists' does.
Correct answer: demands

Explanation: The term 'demands' is a plural noun that refers to the needs for energy, fitting grammatically and contextually within the sentence that discusses the power station's role in meeting energy needs.

Meaning: 'Demands' refers to the requirements or needs for energy supply in Perth.

Wrong options:

  • ratings: 'Ratings' is a plural noun that refers to evaluations, which does not fit the context of energy needs.
  • usage: 'Usage' refers to the manner in which something is used, which does not relate to the context of energy requirements.
  • artists: 'Artists' is a plural noun that refers to creators of art, which does not fit the context of energy demands.
Correct answer: money

Explanation: The word 'money' is a noun that refers to currency or financial resources, fitting grammatically and contextually as it describes the financial consideration for maintaining the power station.

Meaning: 'Money' refers to the currency used for transactions, in this case, the financial cost of operating the power station.

Wrong options:

  • ratings: 'Ratings' refers to evaluations or assessments, which does not fit the context of financial considerations.
  • usage: 'Usage' refers to the manner in which something is used, which does not relate to the financial aspect of the power station.
  • demands: 'Demands' refers to needs or requirements, which does not fit as it does not pertain to financial matters.
