Back to paper

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
The advancement of science has brought about profound changes in every aspect of our
lives, from medical treatment to the way we communicate. The capacity of artificial
intelligence, sometimes known as AI, to accomplish jobs that previously required human
intellect has caused a revolution in a number of different sectors. The altering of organisms'
genetic composition, which is made possible through genetic engineering, provides answers
for issues relating to food security and renewable energy. Technologies that utilise renewable
energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, help to lower the emissions of
greenhouse gases. Manufacturing has been radically altered with the introduction of 3D
printing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled better resource management via the
connection of previously disconnected ordinary products. Because of the tremendous effects
these technologies have on society, their use must be carefully considered from an ethical
standpoint.
 

Which technologies are stated in the text as utilising renewable or green energy sources?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Solar panels and wind turbines.

The passage clearly mentions that technologies utilizing renewable energy sources include "solar panels and wind turbines," which help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These are classic examples of green energy technology.

Option 2 (Medical treatment and communication): These are areas affected by science but not specifically related to renewable energy.

Option 3 (Genetic engineering and 3D printing): Genetic engineering is linked to altering organisms' genetics, and 3D printing relates to manufacturing, not energy sources.

Option 4 (Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT)): These are technological advancements but are not described as renewable energy technologies.
