Question

review the fifth and sixth paragraphs.
greater interest in developing ways to use alternative energy
sources, such as wind energy, to generate electricity. the
u.s. federal government supported research and
development of large wind turbines. in the early 1980s,
thousands of wind turbines were installed in california,
largely because of federal and state policies that encouraged
the use of renewable energy sources.
6 other factors have also influenced increased usage of wind
power. in the 1990s and 2000s, in response to a renewed
concern for the environment, the u.s. federal government
established incentives to use renewable energy sources. the
how do the fifth and sixth paragraphs work together?
they both outline factors related to increased interest in
alternative, renewable energy sources.
they both give reasons as to why wind power is more
popular than other energy sources.
they both detail the benefits of increased wind power
usage in the u.s.

Explanation:

The fifth paragraph talks about the U.S. federal government's support for wind turbines and installation in California due to policies. The sixth paragraph mentions other factors like government incentives in response to environmental concern. Both are about factors (government actions, policies, incentives) related to increased interest in alternative (wind) renewable energy. The second option is wrong as there's no comparison to show wind is more popular. The third option is wrong as there's no detail on benefits like cost - savings, environmental benefits in a detailed way.

Answer:

They both outline factors related to increased interest in alternative, renewable energy sources.
