Renewable energy is changing how we power our homes and businesses. Solar panels, wind turbines, and hydroelectric dams produce electricity without harmful pollution. If everyone had access to clean energy, our planet would be healthier. Clean energy technologies (18)_________. Community solar projects help people (19)_________. Solar energy is becoming cheaper every year; this price reduction makes it more accessible to everyone. Many governments now offer tax benefits for renewable energy. Wind power creates jobs in rural areas; these employment opportunities help local economies grow. Many communities, (20)_________, are now investing in local power projects. Small islands are leading the way in clean energy adoption. Some remote villages now use microgrids to provide electricity where traditional power lines cannot reach. (21)_________. With continued innovation and falling prices, clean energy will soon be available to everyone, regardless of income or location. Battery storage systems make renewable energy more reliable by saving extra power for cloudy or windless days. Farmers can now grow crops and generate solar power on the same land. This practice is called agrivoltaics. (22)_________. Many cities are installing solar-powered street lights that work even during power outages. Home energy monitors help families track and reduce their electricity usage. Community ownership of renewable energy projects gives people control over their power sources. International cooperation is essential for sharing clean energy technologies with developing nations. Question 18:

Public transportation systems consume excessive amounts of fossil fuel resources Read the following passage about Collaborative Consumption for a Sustainable Future and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30. The sharing economy represents a shift in how people access goods and services. Instead of buying products, consumers can borrow or rent items from others. Platforms like Airbnb let homeowners rent rooms to travelers, while car-sharing services allow vehicle owners to earn money when not using their cars. This approach reduces waste since fewer products need manufacturing. The sharing model works well for items that sit unused, such as tools or camping equipment. Environmental benefits of sharing economies are substantial. When people share resources, fewer products are required, reducing manufacturing pollution. Each shared car can replace up to thirteen private vehicles, significantly cutting carbon emissions. Sharing platforms encourage reuse of existing goods rather than buying new ones. This extends the useful life of products that might otherwise be discarded, helping minimize landfill waste and conserve resources.
