Read the passage through once before answering the questions. For some questions, you should read beyond the indicated portion before you answer.PassagePeat: an Ancient and Modern FuelFor the country of Ireland, peat is(1) an abundant and plentifulnatural resource that has been heating stoves and homes since the 8th century. The soft organic material lies in huge(2) bogs. Across17 percent of the Irish countryside. The plant, fungus, and animal detritus that composes peat is kept from fully decomposing(3) amongthe acidic environment of these marshlands. When peat is(4) harvested, itcan be dried and compressed to form a solid fuel. Ancient inhabitants of Ireland relied on this combustible material in areas of the island where trees were scarce. Even today, stacks of freshly dug peat can be seen(5) dryerin rural Irish villages. Peat remains as useful asever for heat production and soil enrichment.(6) Using millions of stacks of dried peat each year,Ireland still generates 13 percent of its power from peat-fired turbines.Prior to the advent of heavy farming machinery, peat farmers plowed trenches throughout a virgin bog to drain the peat,(7) which consist of about95-percent water.Following the several years that it took for the peat to dry sufficiently, farmers would undertake the arduous task of hand-carving peat blocks from the earth. Today, the Irish peat industry is overseen by the state-owned company Bord Na(8) Mona. Whichproduces over four million metric tons of peat every year. About three-quarters is used for domestic energy(9) production, while the remainderis processed for horticultural applications.Modern peat harvesting is a four-stage process. First, large tractors mill a thin layer of peat over a large area of bog. Over the next several days,(10) a machine called a harrowpasses over the milled peat, turning the crop several times to expedite drying. During the next step, a ridging machine passes over the dry peat, channeling it into straight rows ready for collection. Finally, the harvester(11) pastits large vacuum over the ridges,(12) drawing the peatinto a large collection bin. The peat is then taken to processing facilities where it is further dried for briquette production or use in power plants.With(13) thehistory of abundance and renewability as a fuel and nutrient source,(14) peat remains an essential part of Irish culture.Q.Question asks about the preceding passage as a whole.Suppose the writer had been assigned to write a brief essay on the evolution of power sources. Would this essay successfully fulfill the requirements?a)Yes, because it describes an alternative power source not usually considered by essayists.b)Yes, because the writer describes clearly the historical development of peat.c)No, because Ireland is a historically unimportant country in the development of power sources.d)No, because the writer only focuses on the evolution of a single power source from one specific country.Correct answer is option 'D'.
