Question
In the question given below, a passage is given
followed by four statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. Renewable energy currently accounts for approximately 20% of the total global energy supply, significantly trailing behind fossil fuels. However, by 2040, experts project that wind and solar energy will constitute nearly half of the world's electricity generation. This shift is driven by the decreasing costs of technology and increasing environmental regulations. In Northern Europe, renewable energy adoption is three times faster than in the rest of the continent. In emerging economies, the growth potential is even higher, largely due to the vast untapped natural resources. The transition to green energy represents a vital opportunity for sustainable development, provided that infrastructure investment is not stifled by inconsistent legislative frameworks. 1. Fossil fuels currently provide more than 50% of the global energy supply. 2. In Northern Europe, the cost of solar technology is three times lower than in the rest of Europe. 3. Legislative frameworks can impact the transition to renewable energy. 4. The growth rate of renewable energy in emerging economies is expected to be more than three times that of the rest of the European continent.Solution
1 is correct as the paragraph states renewable energy accounts for about 20% and is "significantly trailing behind fossil fuels," implying fossil fuels hold the majority share (over 50%). 3 is correct as the passage states that the opportunity for sustainable development depends on infrastructure investment not being "stifled by inconsistent legislative frameworks." 4 is incorrect as the paragraph states the potential in emerging economies is "even higher" than the Northern European rate (which is 3x faster than the rest of Europe), but it does not provide a specific mathematical figure to confirm it is exactly more than three times. 2 is incorrect as the passage states adoption is "three times faster," not that the "cost is three times lower." Thus, (b) is the right answer.
