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.
