4. Water power provides energy without pollution.
5. A nuclear reactor discharges radiation which is
dangerous to the environment.
6. Solar energy is not only abundant and infinite but also
clean and safe.
7. It is expensive to build a dam for hydroelectricity.
Answer:
1D, 2D, 3D, 4A, 5D, 6A, 7D

Example:
A: What do you think about wind power?
B: I think that wind power can be an alternative source of
energy.
A: Why do you think so?

B: Because our major sources of energy are exhausted while
the wind is abundant and limited.
A: I know it is also clean and safe to the environment.
However, it is not available when there no wind.

energy, water energy,
geothermal energy, nuclear
energy.
- Ss work in groups in 5
