Read the passage about energy use in Dallas, Texas, from the US Department of Energy. During the past five decades, Dallas’s pop

ulation has nearly doubled—growing from 679,000 in 1960 to more than 1.2 million people today. To support this rapid growth, develop a sustainable community and reduce Dallas’ impact on the electrical grid, the city created the Green Dallas Initiative with support from the Energy Department’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program. Using some of its EECBG funds, Dallas focused on improving the energy efficiency of 248 city-owned buildings, totaling 3.3 million square feet. Following energy audits, the city made energy efficiency improvements that included upgrading to energy-efficient indoor lighting at more than 150 buildings and installing digital HVAC controls—technology that allows the city to monitor energy use and continuously adjust the systems to increase efficiencies and reduce energy consumption—in 100 city-owned facilities.
Which best explains why Dallas has needed to find ways to reduce energy consumption?
A.Dallas’s population has grown as people have moved from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt.
B.Dallas has run out of ways to create renewable energy and must use new sources.
C.Dallas has lost population and must reduce energy costs due to lost tax revenues.
D.Dallas’s federal funding is tied to a requirement that it reduce energy use by 50 percent.

Answer:

A.Dallas’s population has grown as people have moved from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt.

Explanation:

Dallas is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, and one of the main reasons is that many people have moved from the lagging economies of the Rust Belt, to the more dynamic economic of Dallas, which is located in the Sun Belt.

Because of this growth in population size, and also because Dallas has a very hot climate during most of the year, it has become necessary to find ways to improve the efficiency of energy consumption in the city, like the excerpt in the question explains.

What is a trust? a large company that consists of two merged businesses multiple businesses that combine and operate in one stat
Gala2k [10]

____________________________________________________

Answer:

D). A large company or combined businesses that control a specific market

____________________________________________________

A trust is D). a large company or combined businesses that control a specific market.

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why this would be your answer is because a trust is a company or a group of companies that control a specific business in the market place, and the different companies cooperate with each other to be successful in the market. Answer choice D clearly describes companies that are cooperating in a specific market. The words "large company," "combined businesses," or "specific market" gives you a hint to your answer. Companies that are in a trust control a specific market together. Companies that trust with each other if they're part of a different market. For example, Samsung can't trust with Food4Less because they're not in the same market, Samsung markets in electronics, while Food4Less markets in food or produce. It doesn't say any necessary details that don't apply to a trust between businesses.

____________________________________________________

Why the other answer choices are wrong:

A). a large company that consists of two merged businesses is INCORRECT because a trust could have more than 2 businesses that are cooperating together. There is no maximum amount of businesses to trust.

B). multiple businesses that combine and operate in one state is INCORRECT because different businesses don't need to be in the same state in order to be a trust. There are businesses in the world that are cooperating together internationally. Businesses could be thousands of miles apart, but still could trust.

C). a business that buys another business is INCORRECT because if a business buys another business, that is not being a trust. There is no form of cooperation in buying a business, the business that bought the other business is technically in control of that business.
