58:57 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 is an alternative piece of evidence that supports the idea that solar energy could play a part in solving the energy
crisis?
O Solar energy is not a suitable solution for all climates due to shorter hours of daylight.
O Solar power requires a large area for the solar panels, which may be a problem in urban areas.

Which part of the story shows how kiara and tanya's differences affect their friendship? kiara and tanya were the best of friends. when they were 10 years old, they always went everywhere together. all their friends knew that if they found one of them, they would find the other. anyone who didn't know them thought that they were twins because both kiara and tanya had long, silky red hair and pale complexions. they were even similar in height and build. they were more like sisters than friends. but as similar as they were in appearance, they were just as different when it came to their personalities. this difference didn't affect their friendship, at least not for a long time. kiara always got out and participated in activities and competitions. tanya was happiest when reading a book at home. kiara was outgoing and talkative. tanya was quiet and shy. kiara was popular, and people were drawn to her because of her ability to make quick friends. tanya hardly had any friends besides kiara. as they grew older, kiara managed to make a large group of friends. tanya, on the other hand, still remained shy and reserved. this difference in their personalities eventually caused a rift between the two friends. tanya would refuse invitations to parties and movies that kiara invited her to. she just didn't want to hang out with people she didn't know that well. kiara couldn't understand why. she thought tanya disliked her friends. eventually, kiara and tanya both realized that they had outgrown one another. they still remained friends, but they were not as close as they once had been.
