    followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. Many countries in Asia are investing heavily in solar and wind power to reduce their dependence on imported fossil fuels and meet climate commitments. While the transition to renewable energy presents infrastructure and storage challenges, governments believe it is critical for long-term energy security. As a result, public and private funding for green energy projects has increased substantially over the past five years. Statements: I. Reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels is one of the driving forces behind Asia's investment in renewables. II. Green energy projects in Asia are entirely funded by the government. III. Long-term energy security is one of the reasons governments are prioritizing renewable energy.

    Solution

    Statement I: The passage explicitly states that countries are investing in renewables to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels. So, I can be inferred. Statement II: The passage says “public and private funding”, which means not all funding is from the government. So, II cannot be inferred. Statement III: The passage mentions that governments consider renewable energy investment critical for long-term energy security, so III can be inferred.
