due to their ability to provide clean energy while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. 
Governments	 worldwide	 are	 investing	 in	 technology	 to	 enhance	 energy	 efficiency	
and storage solutions, aiming to create a more sustainable energy landscape. 
As the costs of renewable technologies continue to decrease, the transition from 
traditional energy sources is becoming not only environmentally necessary but 
also economically viable. However, this transition faces several challenges. The 
intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, requires 
advancements in energy storage to ensure a reliable supply. Additionally, existing

to upgrade or replace systems. Policy makers must navigate these complexities, 
balancing environmental goals with economic realities. The future of energy will 
likely depend on collaboration between governments, industries, and consumers 
to foster innovation and implement sustainable practices.
 1. What is one of the major challenges faced in the transition to renewable energy?
 a) The decreasing costs of fossil fuels
 b)  The need for advancements in energy storage
 c)  The complete lack of government interest
 d)  The sheer abundance of fossil fuel resources
 2. According to the passage, what is essential for a successful transition to renewable 
energy?
 a)  Collaboration among various stakeholders
 b) Increased fossil fuel production
 c) Over reliance on the existing infrastructure
 d)  Eliminating all government regulations
 3. Why is the transition to renewable energy described as becoming economically 
viable?
 a)  Because fossil fuels are becoming more expensive
 b)  Due to the decrease in costs of renewable technologies
 c)  Due to government subsidies for fossil fuels
 d)  Renewable energy sources are less reliable

  The levels of dissolved oxygen in the world’s ocean waters are declining precipitously. 
Just	 like	 humans,	 fish	 need	 oxygen	 to	 survive,	 and	 so	 in	 ocean	 areas	 experiencing	
significant	 levels	 of	 oxygen	 scarcity,	 or	 hypoxia,	 fish	 populations	 are	 plummeting.	
Although some hypoxic areas, called “dead zones,” occur naturally, hypoxia in 
coastal areas and inland waters is caused mainly by agricultural run-off and by 
discharge of industrial wastewater. More than one hundred permanent dead zones, 
many covering thousands of square miles, exist worldwide today. Since reproductive 
success is the most critical factor in the sustainability of any species, the extent 
of this threat to marine life and genetic diversity can hardly be overstated. After
