Read the text and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.
Researchers have proved that fossil fuel is an indispensable source of energy for the future, even though it causes air pollution. Burning of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide which affects the atmosphere by accumulating there. Scientists declared that burning of fossil fuels will be disastrous for global environment and will lead the planet towards extreme pollution.
Nowadays, newer technology is being used which curbs C02 from accumulating into the atmosphere. Apart from that, the carbon dioxide emitted by industries and power plants is sequestered either underground or under the sea. This minimizes the chances of spreading harmful gases into the atmosphere. This step eventually works in producing electricity at double costs. But it is guessed that because of sequestration the cost of generating electricity will not increase more than 50 percent. It is believed that engaging in research to capture carbon dioxide can reduce prices even further.

Which of the following statements are true according to the text?

AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Option 1: "The prices of electricity will be lower if better technologies are adopted to capture carbon dioxide."

Explanation: The text suggests that engaging in research to capture carbon dioxide can reduce prices even further, indicating that better technologies could lead to lower electricity prices.

Option 2: "Burning of Fossil fuels creates useful gases, which can be good for atmosphere and generating energy."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text states that burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, which negatively affects the atmosphere and is associated with air pollution, not useful gases.

Option 3: "There is insufficient research to prove that fossil fuel will be the indispensable source of energy for the coming generation."

Explanation: The text explicitly states that researchers have proved fossil fuel is an indispensable source of energy for the future, contradicting this option.

Option 4: "Technology can be used to stop C02 accumulation in the atmosphere."

Explanation: The text mentions that newer technology is being used to curb CO2 from accumulating in the atmosphere, directly supporting this statement.

Option 5: "Sequestration will increase the cost of electricity by 50 percent."

Explanation: The text indicates that sequestration will not increase the cost of generating electricity more than 50 percent, making this statement misleading.
