If an author's tone in an essay regarding renewable energy transition is characterized as 'pragmatic and measured,' which of the following statements best reflects that authorial voice?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. 'Solar expansion presents immense economic promise, though grid storage bottlenecks must be methodically resolved.'

  1. Step 1: Analyze tone definitions: 'Pragmatic and measured' balances optimism about opportunities with practical awareness of constraints and realistic solutions.
  2. Step 2: The statement acknowledging solar promise while emphasizing systematic resolution of storage challenges perfectly exemplifies a pragmatic, measured stance.
Answer
'Solar expansion presents immense economic promise, though grid storage bottlenecks must be methodically resolved.'.
Why not the others: 'Fossil fuel consumption must be abolished immediately' is radical and unmeasured; 'Reckless gambles' is alarmist and dismissive; 'Magically eliminate' is unrealistic and naive.
