Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #40255 Energy 1
Instructions ›
Read the text from an online article about renewable energy sources. Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
As countries around the globe aim to reduce their carbon footprint, the shift towards renewable energy sources has become imperative. Solar energy, with its abundant availability and decreasing cost of solar panels, stands at the forefront of this shift. Notably, Denmark has emerged as a leader in wind energy, harnessing the power of offshore wind farms to supply over 40% of its energy needs. Meanwhile, geothermal energy remains a niche but potent source, particularly in regions with volcanic activity, such as Iceland and the Philippines, where it accounts for a significant portion of the energy mix.

Option 2: "Denmark"

Explanation: The text explicitly states that Denmark has emerged as a leader in wind energy, supplying over 40% of its energy needs through offshore wind farms. This directly supports the question about significant use of wind energy.

Option 1: "Iceland"

Explanation: Iceland is mentioned in the text as a region with geothermal energy, but it is not highlighted for wind energy. The text specifically states that Denmark is the leader in wind energy, making this option incorrect.

Option 3: "The Philippines"

Explanation: The Philippines is mentioned in relation to geothermal energy, not wind energy. The text does not indicate any significant use of wind energy in the Philippines, thus making this option incorrect.

Option 4: "None of the above"

Explanation: This option suggests that no country is highlighted for significant wind energy use, which contradicts the text. Denmark is clearly identified as a leader in wind energy, making this option incorrect.
