In Paragraph 3, the author uses the phrase “simply turning a knob or switch.”
masya89 [10]

After reading the article "A Cooking Revolution: How clean energy and cookstoves are saving lives," we can choose the following option concerning how the phrase "simply turning a knob or switch" affects meaning:

A. The plain, precise language emphasizes how easy it is for Americans to start a stove.

<h3>What is the article about?</h3>
  • Author and chef José Andrés discusses how important it is for people in developing countries to have access to cookstoves and clean energy. Andrés explains that, unlike Americans, those people must use charcoal, wood, or other materials to start a fire in open cookstoves.
  • Such practices are unhealthy to not only the people but also the environment.  The black carbon emissions contribute to climate change, and fumes inhaled by people cause diseases that lead to a high death rate.

<h3>How does the phrase affect meaning?</h3>
  • When the author says, "For Americans, turning on the stove means simply turning a knob or a switch," he wants to convey the idea of how easy it is for Americans and people in other developed countries to start a stove.
  • Americans have access to clean energy and good cookstoves. They do not have to spend hours trying to start a fire, nor do they have to worry about diseases caused by the smoke.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A as the best answer.
