Question

Nonrenewable mineral resources are often used as fuel. Which choice is a good way to conserve the nonrenewable resources we now use for fuel?
A) Use charcoal, obtained by burning wood for fuel.
B) Use coal in thermal power plants to obtain energy.
C) Explore alternative sources of energy, such as solar energy.
D) Extract minerals from the sea, leaving the resources on land untouched.

Answer 1

C) explore alternative sources of energy, such as solar energy

Answer 2

The answer is C because first of all A and B include using nonrenewable resources which isn't really conserving them. Secondly D makes no sense because we would be cutting ourselves off from sources like Geothermal, Biomass, solar power, and also Wind energy!

Hope this helps! :)
