Question

Even if you can’t stop companies from chopping down forests or factories from releasing greenhouse gases into the air, there are many things that individuals can do. Fossil fuels are the world’s primary energy source for everything from heat and electricity to transportation and manufacturing. Limiting the amount of energy you consume means less fossil fuel is needed. You can conserve energy by turning off the lights and air conditioning in rooms that you’re not using. Recycling can help. It takes more energy to make a new item, like an aluminum can, than to recycle an old one. Other lifestyle changes can help reduce output of greenhouse gases, too. Some people drive hybrid cars or eat vegetarian part of the week.

According to the passage, how does conserving energy helps combat climate change?
A
It turns off the lights automatically.
B
It reduces the need for fossil fuels.
C
It recycles old materials into new ones.
D
It releases greenhouse gasses into the air.

Answer 1

B. It reduces the need for fossil fuels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage is emphasized on the reduced usage of fossil fuels that could help combat climate change. It is a well-established fact that the burning of fossil fuels produces greenhouse gases that affect climate by trapping heat in the biosphere. Resultantly, the Earth's atmosphere becomes warmer, finally, leading to climate crisis as we are seeing today.
