Read the four paragraphs below (A, B, C, D) and match each of the nine

statements (1–9) to the appropriate paragraph. Each statement either


matches one of the paragraphs (A, B, C, or D) or does not match any of them
(E). If the information in the statement is not contained in any of the
paragraphs, choose "E."

Paragraph A
The rapid adoption of renewable energy has brought significant changes to
global energy markets. Countries are investing in solar and wind power to
reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. However, the variability of these
energy sources poses a challenge for grid stability. Efforts to improve energy
storage systems, such as large-scale batteries, are crucial to addressing this
issue and ensuring a reliable power supply.

Paragraph B
Solar energy has emerged as a key player in the transition to renewables.
Technological advancements have reduced the cost of solar panels, making
them accessible to a wider audience. Despite this progress, the efficiency of
solar energy production depends heavily on geographic location and weather
conditions, which can limit its application in some regions.

Paragraph C
Wind energy has become a cornerstone of renewable energy strategies
worldwide. Offshore wind farms, in particular, are gaining popularity due to
their capacity to generate large amounts of energy. Nevertheless, these
installations require significant investment and maintenance, and their
impact on marine ecosystems has raised environmental concerns.

Paragraph D
Hydroelectric power remains a dependable source of renewable energy,
providing consistent electricity generation regardless of weather conditions.
Large dams not only supply power but also serve other purposes, such as
irrigation and flood control. However, the displacement of local communities
and the alteration of ecosystems remain contentious issues linked to
hydropower development.

Statements

capacity.

5. Hydroelectric power is less dependent on weather conditions compared


to other renewable sources.

6. Renewable energy variability poses a challenge for grid stability.

7. Large-scale projects have raised concerns about their impact on


marine ecosystems.

8. The decreasing cost of equipment has contributed to the adoption of


certain renewable energy sources.

9. Some renewable energy sources serve multiple purposes, such as


power generation and irrigation.
