Question
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. However, a growing number of environmental researchers argue that while EVs do not emit pollutants directly, the electricity required to charge them often comes from coal-based power plants. Hence, promoting EVs may not be as environmentally beneficial as it seems, especially in countries that still rely heavily on fossil fuels for electricity generation. 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. EVs are significantly more efficient than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, even when charged with electricity from fossil fuels. (Weaken) Select the correct combination:Solution
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.
