Question

question 6 of 10
which of the following would not be a way we can cut back on our use of oil?

a. using cars that are more fuel efficient

b. using more heat in the winters

c. using more public transportation

d. using less heat in the winters

Explanation:

• Option A: More fuel - efficient cars use less oil for the same distance traveled, so it helps cut back on oil use.
• Option B: Using more heat in winters, especially if the heat is oil - based (e.g., in oil - fired furnaces), will increase oil consumption, so it does not help cut back on oil use.
• Option C: Public transportation can carry more people with less oil per passenger compared to individual cars, so it reduces oil use.
• Option D: Using less heat in winters will reduce the amount of oil (if oil is used for heating) consumed, helping to cut back on oil use.

Answer:

B. Using more heat in the winters
