Question

which inference is best supported by the phrase creating currents of electricity and hope in the excerpts title?
a. the author has more interest in helping his countrymen than he does in developing new power sources.
b. the discovery of windmills could change the way science is taught in malawi.
c. the windmills have the potential to provide an escape from poverty.
d. the people of malawi believe that standard of living can be improved through prayer.

Explanation:

The phrase "Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope" implies that the windmills (which create electricity) also bring hope. Hope is often associated with a better future, which in this context could mean an escape from poverty. Option C aligns with this as it mentions the windmills having the potential to provide an escape from poverty. Option A is not supported as there is no indication of the author's interest in helping countrymen over developing power sources. Option B about changing science teaching is not related to the "hope" aspect. Option D about prayers is not connected to the windmills (electricity) part of the title.

Answer:

C. The windmills have the potential to provide an escape from poverty.
