Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many
communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce
electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to
dispose of wastes.
 Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale
and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments
are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from
the earth, is also being tested.
Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived
from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of
the electricity used in the US, but today it supplies only 4 percent. The oceans are
another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the
energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also
underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce
energy.
