Sunlight, water, and wind are examples of inexhaustible forms of energy.  What does inexhaustible mean?

• We will run out at any minute.

• We will never run out.

• We will run out in 100 years.

• We will run out in 20 years.

What is a renewable resource?

• A resource you can reuse over and over

• An object you cannot replace

• Fossil fuels

• A resource that has a nearly unlimited supply

Renewable energy means we will not run out.

• True

• False

Based on the text’s description, what are two examples of clean energy?

• solar power and electricity

• wind power and solar power

• fossil fuels and wind power

• electricity and fossil fuels

Burning fossil fuels pollutes the air, which can be harmful to people, animals, and plants. Clean energy does not pollute the air. Based on this evidence, what can you conclude about clean energy?

• Clean energy is probably better for the health of people, animals, and plants than fossil fuels

• Clean energy is probably more dangerous to people, animals, and plants, than burning fossil fuels

• Clean energy is probably worse for the air, but better for the health of people, animals, and plants than fossil fuels

• Clean energy is probably better for the air, but worse for people, animals, and plants than fossil fuels

What is the main idea of this passage?

• More people are using clean energy like solar power and wind power, which does not pollute the air

• Clean energy is mainly used to create electricity, which people can use to power their homes

• Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, come from the remains of plants and animals that lived long ago

• Most of the energy people use comes from burning fossil fuels, which pollutes the air
