Question

thesis statement:
wind energy is created by using large wind turbines that change the energy from the wind into electricity to power our homes and workplaces.
supporting details:

• the wind is available every day of the year, rain or shine.
• a large fan, called a wind turbine, is made up of a blade, a rotor, a drive train, a tower, and other things like electrical wires.
• wind is actually a form of solar energy because the heat from the sun creates the wind.

thesis statement:
new renewable energy options, such as wind energy, have the potential to replace fossil fuels as an energy source. energy generated from the wind has both benefits and drawbacks.
supporting details:

• wind power is a domestic fuel source; the united states wind power capacity has increased an average of thirty percent per year over the last ten years.
• energy created from wind turbines creates no air pollution and is completely renewable.
• one of its drawbacks is that currently it costs more to harness the wind than usual sources of energy.

Explanation:

The problem involves analyzing thesis statements and their supporting details related to wind energy, which falls under Environmental Sciences (a subfield of Natural Science) as it deals with renewable energy and its environmental impact. The first thesis is about how wind energy is created, and the second is about its potential to replace fossil fuels with benefits and drawbacks. The supporting details for the second thesis (about potential, benefits, drawbacks) are more relevant to evaluating the thesis on renewable energy's role, while the first's details are about wind energy's creation. But since the question isn't fully clear, assuming we need to match the correct supporting details to the thesis, the second set of supporting details (about growth, pollution, cost) supports the thesis about wind energy's potential and pros/cons.

Answer:

The supporting details for the thesis "New renewable energy options, such as wind energy, have the potential to replace fossil fuels as an energy source. Energy generated from the wind has both benefits and drawbacks." are the ones listed under its "Supporting details" (the second set: wind power capacity increase, no air pollution, higher cost to harness).
