Answer 1

Which statement from the "Future Potential Source #2: Wind" article persuades readers to consider the benefits of wind energy because it's already being successfully used elsewhere?

The correct answer is:
C. "Already, multiple countries in Europe are using wind energy to meet significant portions of their energy needs"


The statement talks about a country that is already using wind energy which was also what the problem is referring to.

Answer 2

I believe the answer to this question is letter C.

The statement suggests that the usage of wind energy is successful in meeting energy needs and demands that is why many European countries have been using this alternative source. With this success, it can be implied, especially to the readers, that wind energy is indeed beneficial not just for small-scale consumption, but also to extensive and wider usages as well.
