Question

Read the paragraph and answer the question that follows.

As populations increase around the globe, growing demands for energy resources have the potential of straining the earth's ecosystems. Scientists around the world have identified ways in which people can use energy more efficiently:

1. Inflate car tires to make cars more fuel efficient.
2. Replace light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.
3. Recycle.
4. Adjust your thermostat.
5. Reduce the temperature of your water heater.
6. Unplug appliances that are not in use.

Which statement best describes how the information above relates to human activities?

A. Human activities have increased volcanic eruptions.
B. Overfishing of the world's oceans is leading to the extinction of some fish species.
C. Nations of the world can work together to use energy more efficiently.
D. Moving to cooler climates will help save energy.

Answer 1

If you are not done with this yet. It is C because they are saying that they can save energy and not waste resources because of the earths population growth.

Answer 2

C. Nations of the world can work together to use energy more efficiently.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population increase brings about growing demands for energy resources .The enumerated ways according to the question which scientists proffers to use energy more efficiently discourages waste and save more energy. All the enumerated ways from 1 - 6 can be better described as it relates to human activities to avoid energy wastage, conserve energy and use it more efficiently.

Inflating car tires reduces fuel consumption as the vehicle runs more efficiently to avoid energy wastage.

Replacing light bulbs with compact fluorescent will save energy because the light bulb uses more energy and dissipate more heat. Replacing it with a fluorescent save energy and uses energy more efficiently.

Recycling will conserve energy since energy required to produce a new product will be saved . Recycling will definitely use energy more efficiently.

Adjusting your thermostat will reduce the energy use for heating and cooling . Adjusting the thermostat will definitely use energy more efficiently.

Reducing the temperature of your water heater will save more energy required to boil the water. This process reduces energy wastage .

unplugging appliances that are not in use make sure no energy is wasted. If energy is used it should be use purposely not wastefully. This process promotes energy conservation.

All this ways propounded by scientist is better describe if nations of the world work together to use energy more efficiently.
