Read the following passage and write a summary of no more than 80 words. Your summary must be written in your own words, retain the main ideas, and include a suitable title.
"Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydro are becoming increasingly vital as the world seeks alternatives to fossil fuels. Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity, while wind turbines harness kinetic energy from moving air. Hydroelectric plants use the flow of water to generate power, often with minimal emissions. Although the initial investment for these technologies can be high, long‑term benefits include reduced greenhouse‑gas emissions, lower operating costs and greater energy security. Governments worldwide are offering incentives to accelerate the transition, but public awareness and infrastructure development remain key challenges."
Answer Options
A.
Title: "Importance of Renewable Energy Sources"
Renewable energy—solar, wind and hydro—is vital as the world seeks alternatives to fossil fuels. Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity, wind turbines harness kinetic energy from moving air, and hydroelectric plants use water flow, often with minimal emissions. The initial investment for these technologies is high, but long‑term benefits include reduced greenhouse‑gas emissions, lower operating costs and greater energy security. Government incentives have been ineffective, and public awareness and infrastructure development are no longer challenges.
B.
Title: "Renewable Energy: A Growing Necessity"
Renewable energy—solar, wind and hydro—is essential as the world moves away from fossil fuels. Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity, wind turbines harness kinetic energy from moving air, and hydroelectric plants use water flow, often with minimal emissions. Although the initial investment for these technologies can be low, long‑term benefits include increased greenhouse‑gas emissions, higher operating costs and less energy security. Governments worldwide are removing incentives, and public awareness is already sufficient.
C.
Title: "The Rising Significance of Renewable Energy"
Renewable energy—solar, wind and hydro—has become crucial as societies shift away from fossil fuels. Solar panels turn sunlight into heat, wind turbines capture air movement, and hydro plants use water flow, all with substantial emissions. Although set‑up costs are low, they bring short‑term gains: higher greenhouse‑gas output, expensive operation and reduced energy security. Government incentives aim to slow adoption, yet public awareness and infrastructure are still minor hurdles.
Correct Answer
D.
Title: "The Growing Importance of Renewable Energy"
Renewable energy—solar, wind and hydro—is essential as the world moves away from fossil fuels. Solar panels turn sunlight into electricity, wind turbines capture air movement, and hydro plants use water flow, all with little emissions. Although set‑up costs are high, they bring long‑term gains: lower greenhouse‑gas output, cheaper operation and improved energy security. Government incentives aim to speed adoption, yet public awareness and infrastructure are still major hurdles.
