Answer:

Question 1: D.)Wind power is the most economical renewable energy resource

Question 2: A.) The response is effective because the author lists added financial and environmental costs of using fossil fuels that raise the cost higher than what is stated.

Explanation:

Question 1: Which statement most accurately states a claim developed in paragraph 5?

A.) Traditional energy sources are safer for the planet than wind turbines.

<em>Traditional energy sources are suggested to be a source of pollutants and greenhouse gases, making them a less safe option compared to renewable sources</em>

B.) Traditional energy sources generate more power than wind turbines.

<em>This is not mentioned in the paragraph</em>

C.) Wind power is the most unreliable renewable energy resource.  

<em>This is not mentioned in the paragraph</em>

D.)Wind power is the most economical renewable energy resource.

<em>This is mentioned in the first line of the paragraph where it is stated that "wind energy is the lowest-prices renewable energy technology we have"</em>

<em />

Question 2: How well does the author address the counterclaims in paragraph 5 that fossil fuels are less expensive than wind power?

A.) The response is effective because the author lists added financial and environmental costs of using fossil fuels that raise the cost higher than what is stated.

<em>The additional financial (rising fuel prices) and environmental costs (pollutants, impacts of mining) are detailed to suggest non-quantified costs of traditional energy sources</em>

B.) The response is effective because the author calls into question the reliability of the source information stated in the counterclaims.

<em>The reliability of the source is not questioned, rather additional information is provided</em>

C.) The response is ineffective because the statistics clearly show that energy from fossil fuels costs less than energy from wind power.

<em>The statistics mentioned show that current prices of gas and coal (which may increase) result in energy costs comparable to energy generated from wind</em>

D.) The response is ineffective because the author chooses to ignore the information presented in the counterclaims.

<em>The information in the counterclaims is not ignored, alternate information is presented to show a different side</em>

How would a negative bias most likely enter into a radio report?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

because its a radio report people will be listening to it not viewing it so B and D are automatically wrong. C is upbeat music which is

"positive" and it gives the listener a good feeling; therefore, A is the only correct answer with sad gloomy music which will bring the listener's mood down.
