Solar power

29 Emergency call boxes, often found along the side of the road in remote locations, are frequently solar-powered. They usually have lights on them, which provide illumination every night.

30 Like wind turbines, they’re hard to service, so they’re built to last for a long time. As long as they’re kept free of dust and debris, solar panels will generally last as long as the electronics connected to them.

31 A solar panel’s wires and circuits will eventually succumb to corrosion, but solar panels in a dry place, with well-built electronics, could easily continue providing power for a century if they’re kept free of dust by occasional breezes or rain on the exposed panels.

32 If we follow a strict definition of lighting, solar-powered lights in remote locations could conceivably be the last surviving human light source.

33 But there’s another contender, and it’s a weird one.

The author’s purpose in opening this section by introducing the topic of emergency call boxes is probably to:

Answer choices for the above question
