Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:The passage claims wind is inexhaustible, convertible via aerogenerators, and presently under-developed despite “vast potential.” We must see which conclusions logically follow from these claims in the context of typical reasoning questions about alternative energy.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:If little work has been done and potential is large, the field is comparatively new or under-tapped—supporting Conclusion I. If potential is vast and conversion is feasible, exploring this field is a viable response to energy shortages—supporting Conclusion II (in the sense of significantly helping to address the crisis).
Step-by-Step Solution:
From “not much has been done” + “vast potential”: wind energy development is emerging/under-developed (I).From “inexhaustible” + “convertible” + “vast potential”: further exploration can help tackle energy shortages (II).Verification / Alternative check:
If wind were exhausted or not convertible, II would fail; but the passage asserts the opposite. Hence, exploring more is a reasonable remedy.Why Other Options Are Wrong:
A or B alone ignore part of the evidence.C and D contradict the combined implications of feasibility and potential.Common Pitfalls:
Interpreting “deal with the crisis” as “solve entirely.” The exam phrasing typically means “address significantly.”Final Answer:Both I and II follow
