Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The transition to renewable energy is no longer a question of if but how quickly. Once dismissed as too expensive or unreliable, solar and wind power now generate electricity at lower cost per kilowatt-hour than most fossil-fuel sources in many parts of the world. Driving the shift are dramatic declines in panel and turbine prices, improved grid-scale battery storage, and rising public pressure to address climate change. National policies — including tax credits, feed-in tariffs and carbon pricing — have accelerated investment, though unevenly across countries. Critics warn of intermittency: solar produces only by day, wind only when it blows. Yet expanded storage capacity and continent-spanning interconnections increasingly smooth these gaps. A more stubborn challenge is the carbon footprint of manufacturing renewable equipment itself; mining for lithium, cobalt and rare earths raises both environmental and human-rights concerns. The transition is therefore not a technological problem alone but a complex social and economic undertaking that will reshape the global economy for decades to come.
According to the passage, the main driver of the renewable energy transition is:
Critics of renewables, according to the passage, primarily emphasise:
The passage suggests that intermittency challenges are being addressed by:
According to the passage, mining for renewable materials raises:
The phrase “no longer a question of if but how quickly” suggests that:

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
For most of the twentieth century, scientists believed the adult brain was essentially fixed: neural connections formed in childhood, and significant change after maturity was unlikely. That picture has been overturned. Modern neuroscience has shown that the brain remains capable of forming new connections — and even, in limited circumstances, of growing new neurons — throughout life. This property, called neuroplasticity, underlies learning at every age. It explains why stroke patients can recover lost functions, why musicians who practise an instrument develop measurable structural changes in motor cortex, and why people who learn a second language in adulthood show enhanced connectivity in language regions. Neuroplasticity also has implications for mental health: cognitive-behavioural therapy may work in part by literally rewiring distressed neural circuits. The lesson is humbling and hopeful: the brain we end up with at fifty is not the brain we are stuck with — it is the brain shaped by the experiences we have chosen and the practices we have sustained.
According to the passage, the twentieth-century view of the adult brain was that it was:
According to the passage, neuroplasticity:
The example of musicians in the passage demonstrates that:
According to the passage, cognitive-behavioural therapy may work by:
