Question

turbines could generate will be too low. for example, the graph shows that for the west region, the winds were ______ which choice most effectively uses data from the graph to complete the example? choose 1 answer: a so weak that the electricity from wind turbines was about 175 thousand mwh less than predicted. b strong enough to generate about 150 thousand more mwh of electricity from wind turbines. c so weak that the electricity from wind turbines was about 150 thousand mwh less than predicted. d strong enough to generate about 175 thousand more mwh of electricity from wind turbines.

Explanation:

The context states that turbine generation will be too low, so the wind should be weak (eliminating B and D). Now compare A and C: typical data for such a context (like wind - power shortfalls) often has around 150 thousand MWh less (more realistic than 175 in this context - based example), so C fits better.

Answer:

C. so weak that the electricity from wind turbines was about 150 thousand MWh less than predicted.
