Explanation:

These questions are about the story of William Kamkwamba (likely from "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind"). Let's answer each:

1. William is expelled because he can't pay tuition (b).
2. Drought (b) worsens famine as it dries crops.
3. William builds a windmill (c) to help.
4. The windmill’s main purpose is to generate electricity for lights/charge radios? Wait, no—correctly, it’s to generate electricity (but options: a is for water, b solar, c windmill, d power machinery. Wait, William’s windmill was to generate electricity, but among options, the main purpose related is to pump water? No, wait—actually, he built it to generate electricity, but the options: let's recall. The windmill was to generate electricity for lights and charge radios? Wait, the options: a. Generate electricity for lights; b. Pump water for crops; c. Charge radios; d. Power machinery. Wait, the correct answer is c? No, wait—William’s windmill was to generate electricity, and he used it to charge radios. Wait, no, maybe the main purpose was to pump water? Wait, no, in the story, the windmill was to generate electricity. Wait, the options: let's check. The correct answer for Q8 is c? Or a? Wait, no—let's recheck. William built the windmill to generate electricity, which he used to charge radios (c) or power lights. Wait, the options: a is irrigation canal (no, he built windmill). So Q7 is c (windmill). Q8: the main purpose—he used it to charge radios (c) or generate electricity for lights (a). Wait, maybe the answer is c. But let's proceed.

1. His friend Gilbert (b) helps gather materials.
2. From a library book (a)—he read a book on windmills.
3. Government restricting supply is command economy (b), as command economies have government control.

1. b. He cannot pay tuition fees
2. b. Drought
3. c. A windmill
4. c. Charge radios (Wait, correction: Actually, the windmill’s main purpose was to generate electricity, and he used it to charge radios. Alternatively, maybe the answer is b? No, wait—let's confirm. In the story, the windmill was to generate electricity, which powered lights and charged radios. So among options, c is charge radios.
