16. Read the text and choose the correct answer. 1. Nowadays, finding a good source of renewable energy is important. I think that winder energy is the best form of renewable energy. Wind power uses the wind to create electricity, and electric power is created by the turbines. This type of renewable energy is great for many reasons. First of all, in my opinion, wind energy is the best source for us because it doesn't pollute the air like power plants. I believe power plants use dangerous fossil fuels that can cause many health problems like asthma. To sum up, I believe as long as there is enough wind blowing, then turbines will create useful electric energy for us all. 2. Some people might think that finding a good source of renewable energy is too difficult. However, if you think about the size of our oceans you must agree that wave power is the best form of renewable energy. Basically, wave power is the transport of energy by waves to generate electricity. Electric power is created when ocean water is pumped into machines, and the stronger the waves, the more power that is created. In my opinion, wave power is the best of renewable energy because it is pollution free and there is plenty of water around the world for everyone to benefit from it. In addition, the best thing about using wave power is that it will never run out. 3. Today, it is so important to find a reliable source of renewable energy. I believe that getting energy from the sun is the best option for us. First of all, we should all consider using solar power to get the energy we need in our daily lives. Even though there is a large supple of light from the sun, few people use solar power. Solar power is when energy from the sunlight is converted into electricity. I think we can easily use solar panels to capture the sunlight, in order to produce power. The reason I think that solar power is the best type of clean energy is because it is pollution free. In addition, the sun rises every day and that will allow us to always be able to produce electric energy. QuestionWhich choice best describes the author's opinion in Paragraph 1?
17. What type of resources are considered finite and cannot be replenished in a short amount of time?
