Read the passage below and answer the question that
follows: Governments across the world are promoting electric vehicles (EVs) as an effective solution to reduce carbon emissions and air pollution.

Which of the following statements, if true, would strengthen or weaken the argument in the passage? In many countries, the majority of electricity is generated from renewable sources like wind and solar energy. (Weaken) B. The production and disposal of EV batteries can lead to harmful environmental consequences. (Strengthen) C.

Option A is partially true—the rain is used as a metaphor—but the main idea isn’t just about metaphors. Option B touches on the theme of lack of control, but misses the second part of the message: how to respond. Option C best sums up the passage: it captures both the acceptance of external events and the importance of our response to them. Option D distorts the message slightly—it's not just about disappointments but all uncontrollable things. Option E misinterprets the passage. It’s not about studying natural laws, but accepting them and focusing on our attitude.
