Question
Directions: Read the passage below and determine which
of the following statements can be correctly inferred from the text. Passage: The adoption of community-based solar microgrids in remote mountainous areas is often presented as a solution for energy poverty. By providing localized, renewable power, these grids can support small businesses, schools, and health centers that are currently off the national grid. However, developers struggle with the logistics of transporting heavy equipment to rugged terrain, the high cost of battery storage, and the difficulty of training local communities to maintain sophisticated technology. Analysts argue that unless maintenance becomes simplified and subsidized funding increases, the widespread permanence of these microgrids is not guaranteed. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? I. Solar microgrids have the capacity to act as a catalyst for socio-economic development in remote areas. II. Technical and logistical barriers pose a threat to the long-term sustainability of solar microgrid projects. III. Local communities in mountainous regions already possess the necessary technical skills to manage these energy systems independently.Solution
Statement I (True): This mirrors your "safety nets for vulnerable households" logic. The passage states that the grids can support "small businesses, schools, and health centers," which directly implies their potential to serve as a catalyst for socio-economic development in those regions. Statement II (True): This mirrors your "operational challenges make the future uncertain" logic. The passage lists logistics, battery costs, and maintenance training as struggles, concluding that the "permanence of these microgrids is not guaranteed." This confirms that their long-term sustainability is indeed threatened by these barriers. Statement III (False): This mirrors your "readily embrace" logic. The passage mentions the "difficulty of training local communities to maintain sophisticated technology," which indicates that they do not yet possess the necessary skills to manage the systems independently.
