 PART C: READING (3.0)

I. Read the following passage. For each question, complete the notes with NO MORE THAN
ONE WORD.

Dear Mayor,

My name is Henry Little. I am the town's energy expert. I have completed my research on new renewable
energy sources and have found a few that I would suggest. Solar panels work great during the day and are
very cheap to build. Wind turbines are clean to run and will work great during the windy seasons like fall
and spring. Finally, nuclear power is clean and can run all day. Renewable energy has many advantages
over non-renewable sources like coal. However, the town should keep a natural gas power plant just in case
it's cloudy or the wind stops. A good mix of both energy sources can help keep the lights on and reduce
pollution, so I suggest the town increase the total use of renewable energy to 70%, close the coal power
plant, and keep the natural gas plant.

Henry, the town’s (1) __________ , completed his research on renewables. He suggested that the town use
(2)__________ because they work great during the day and wind turbines because they are (3)_________to
run. Henry also suggested (4)___________because it can run all day, and the town should increase the total
