read the introduction and first paragraph of an essay about energy sources.
(1) the nation's energy use is largely dependent on fossil fuels. (2) these fuels are nonrenewable resources, and they cause pollution. (3) we cannot continue our reliance on a fuel that will eventually run out. (4) thus, we must find other ways to sustain our energy demands. (5) pursuing alternative fuel sources is the key to solving our energy crisis.
(6) currently, about 1 percent of energy in the united states is produced by the sun, and solar energy has the potential to become a more widely used energy source. (7) through different technologies, such as solar cells, scientists have learned to use the sun’s radiation to create electricity. (8) solar energy is both inexhaustible and clean. (9) the major limit to this alternative source is that equipment is expensive. (10) developing a cost-effective way to harness the power of the sun will be a significant development in solving our energy crisis.
which statement introduces a new counterclaim to the author’s position?
batteries are being developed to harness the sun's power for use at a later time.
the production of solar energy is relatively quiet, reducing noise pollution.
solar panels can be placed in remote areas, which is more cost effective than installing high-voltage wires.
the use of solar energy is especially limited in areas that do not get regular sunlight.

A. Batteries are being developed to harness the sun's power for use at a later time.

Explanation:

Batteries are being developed to harness the energy resources and gain the maximum from them. The paragraph given gives the idea of the availability of the energy resources and what alternatives can be used for using the energy resources for the longer period of time. It must be kept in mind that all "fuels" are "non-renewable resources" of energy but not all non-renewable resources of energy are fossil fuels. And thus, alternatives must be used for gaining sustainability in the future.

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
