Question 2 • TX-Communication Applications

Which detail best supports the claim that fossil fuels should be limited in the United States?

Answer
A
Fossil fuels should be completely banned from production by the year 2030.
B
Solar panels have been in production for use on private homes for decades.
C
Scientists predict that Earth’s fossil fuel supply will run out within the next 100 years.
D
Other countries have pledged to greatly reduce fossil fuel use within the next decade.

Explanation

A prediction that Earth’s fossil fuel supply could run out within the next 100 years supports limiting its use, because conserving a finite resource may help it last longer. Choice C gives that evidence. The other choices state proposals, facts about solar panels, or actions by other countries rather than a reason based on the limited supply.
