Read this excerpt from "A Student's Guide to Global Climate Change." Climate change will lead to more hot days and more heat waves. As a result, people will need to use more air conditioning to stay cool. As people use more air conditioning, electricity shortages and blackouts could increase. Because most electricity is currently produced by burning fossil fuels, using more electricity to run air conditioners will also add more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

What problem does the excerpt present?

There will be more hot days and heat waves in the future.
People will need air conditioning more often in the future.
Power shortages and blackouts may increase.
Greenhouse gases are being added to the environment.

Power shortages and blackouts may increase.

Explanation:

Reason is as stated in the paragraph, "As people use more air conditioning, electricity shortages and blackouts could increase."

Therefore that needs to be the answer.

The first and second choice is not a strong answer while the last one "Greenhouse gases are being added to the environment." is a strong answer but, as stated in the paragraph, "also add more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere."

its choice c

I think its b If not c and if both of them are wrong real sorry

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
