Read the following passage 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 31 to 40.
[I] As the world grapples with the finite nature of fossil fuel reserves and the
detrimental impact of climate change, the future of energy undeniably lies in renewable
sources. [II] Scientists and engineers are making substantial advancements in the
development of technologies that more efficiently harness solar, wind, hydro, and
geothermal energy. [III] Although the transition to these renewable sources presents
significant challenges, it is also regarded as a pivotal step towards establishing a
sustainable and resilient energy system. [IV]
One of the most promising advancements in renewable energy is the
enhancement of solar panel efficiency. Progress in photovoltaic technology has led to
the creation of panels that convert a higher proportion of sunlight into electricity.
Likewise, wind turbines are becoming more and more efficient. They are capable of
generating power even under low-wind conditions. These innovations are essential
for making renewable energy more feasible and accessible to a broader population.
However, the transition to renewable energy is fraught with obstacles. The
intermittent nature of sources like solar and wind necessitates reliable storage
solutions to ensure a consistent power supply. Although battery technology has seen
significant improvements, further advancements are imperative to meet growing
demand. Moreover, the infrastructure for distributing renewable energy requires
expansion and upgrading to accommodate these new power sources.
The economic impact of transitioning to renewable energy is another critical
consideration. While the initial investment in renewable energy
infrastructure can be substantial, the long-term benefits include reduced
energy costs and job creation in the green energy sector. Governments and
private enterprises are increasingly acknowledging the necessity of investing in

5
renewable energy projects, which is crucial for fostering innovation and diminishing
reliance on fossil fuels.
Ultimately, the future of energy hinges on our capacity to innovate and adapt.
By continuing to invest in research and development, improving infrastructure, and
addressing economic and technical challenges, we can transition towards a more
sustainable and environmentally friendly energy system.
