It is very important, when approaching a new topic, to read the exposition of the story. The exposition refers to the backdrop of the story. In this section, the author talks about the characters' past, their motivations and desires. It is also the section in which the reader introduces the context of the story and the setting in which this takes place. This is all vital information if the reader wants to understand the details of the story.

This is the passage: I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
B.) Traditional energy sources generate more power than wind turbines.
C.) Wind power is the most unreliable renewable energy resource.
D.)Wind power is the most economical renewable energy resource.
Paragraph 5: Economic Benefits of Wind Energy
Wind energy is the lowest-priced renewable energy technology we have. It can cost between 4 and 6 cents per kilowatt-hour. At first glance, it can be argued that energy from traditional power sources such as gas can cost between 3.9 and 4.4 cents per kilowatt-hour. However, gas prices can rise and burning fuel releases pollutants and greenhouse gases into the air. Coal costs between 4.8 and 5.5 cents per kilowatt-hour. Because burning coal pollutes the air and coal mining destroys forests and soil quality, coal plants must meet strict environmental regulations. This makes it difficult and costly to build new coal plants. According to Synapse Energy Economics’ most recent report, if the use of wind energy was doubled in the mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes states, consumers could save $6.9 billion a year.
How well does the author address the counterclaims in paragraph 5 that fossil fuels are less expensive than wind power?
A.) The response is effective because the author lists added financial and environmental costs of using fossil fuels that raise the cost higher than what is stated.
B.) The response is effective because the author calls into question the reliability of the source information stated in the counterclaims.
C.) The response is ineffective because the statistics clearly show that energy from fossil fuels costs less than energy from wind power.
D.) The response is ineffective because the author chooses to ignore the information presented in the counterclaims.
Answer:
Question 1: D.)Wind power is the most economical renewable energy resource
Question 2: A.) The response is effective because the author lists added financial and environmental costs of using fossil fuels that raise the cost higher than what is stated.
Explanation:
Question 1: Which statement most accurately states a claim developed in paragraph 5?
A.) Traditional energy sources are safer for the planet than wind turbines.
Traditional energy sources are suggested to be a source of pollutants and greenhouse gases, making them a less safe option compared to renewable sources
B.) Traditional energy sources generate more power than wind turbines.
This is not mentioned in the paragraph
C.) Wind power is the most unreliable renewable energy resource.
This is not mentioned in the paragraph
D.)Wind power is the most economical renewable energy resource.
This is mentioned in the first line of the paragraph where it is stated that "wind energy is the lowest-prices renewable energy technology we have"
Question 2: How well does the author address the counterclaims in paragraph 5 that fossil fuels are less expensive than wind power?
A.) The response is effective because the author lists added financial and environmental costs of using fossil fuels that raise the cost higher than what is stated.
The additional financial (rising fuel prices) and environmental costs (pollutants, impacts of mining) are detailed to suggest non-quantified costs of traditional energy sources
B.) The response is effective because the author calls into question the reliability of the source information stated in the counterclaims.
The reliability of the source is not questioned, rather additional information is provided
C.) The response is ineffective because the statistics clearly show that energy from fossil fuels costs less than energy from wind power.
The statistics mentioned show that current prices of gas and coal (which may increase) result in energy costs comparable to energy generated from wind
D.) The response is ineffective because the author chooses to ignore the information presented in the counterclaims.
The information in the counterclaims is not ignored, alternate information is presented to show a different side
a. True
b. False
(A) True
When you are explicitly stating something, you are clearly stating it so that there is no room for confusion or doubt in your listener's minds.
