Select the sentence from the section "A Tough Problem To Solve" that is MOST important to include in the article's summary.

Several experts this week said that booming Tesla sales don't make enough of a dent to reduce emissions in a substantial way.

Emissions from cars and other transportation sources are expected to grow in the future, and if nothing changes, they are expected to total 12 billion tons in 2050.

Even selling 500,000 vehicles a year by 2020 still represents only about a half of a percent of car and light truck sales around the world, said Colin McKerracher.

"It's obviously important for Tesla," said David Reichmuth, a senior engineer in the clean vehicles program at the Union of Concerned Scientists.

The central idea of the article is MAINLY developed by:

describing Tesla's impact on the market for electric vehicles

highlighting the problem of global warming

demonstrating the large impact of Tesla's sales on global markets

showing how battery prices have decreased in recent years

Read the following paragraph from the article. EVs are also, according to the Department of Energy, already a lot cheaper to operate in most places, even with the low gas prices now. As of April 2, the average price of gas in the United States was $2.07, but an "electric eGallon" was $1.09, the agency said. What is the most likely reason for including information about the prices of gas and "electric eGallons" in the United States?

to provide one reason why electric vehicles are attractive to consumers

to provide hope that battery costs will also come down in future years

to explain why electric vehicle sales are increasing in the United States

to demonstrate that Tesla has the power to have an impact on gas prices in the United States

Which of the following answer choices describes TWO MAIN ideas in the article?

Tesla hopes to sell more electric cars in the future. If other companies sold more electric cars too, global pollution could be significantly reduced.

Around the world, over 7 billion tons of emissions are released each year from transportation. Tesla hopes to sell more electric vehicles.

Tesla sells a lot of electric cars in the United States, and hopes to sell even more. Battery costs have decreased 70 percent in the last four to five years.

By selling more electric cars, Tesla is setting an example for other manufacturers. Electric vehicles are already cheaper to operate than regular cars.

Which statement would be MOST important to include in a summary of the article?

Several experts said that Tesla alone will not make enough of a difference to really reduce emissions.

Tesla's goal is to sell 500,000 electric vehicles (EVs) each year by 2020.

In the United States, transportation makes up about 25 percent of emissions.

EVs are also, according to the Department of Energy, already a lot cheaper to operate in most places.

How does the introduction affect the overall structure of the article?

It provides hope that Tesla's electric vehicle sales reflect a helpful trend for the environment.

It gives evidence to prove that electric vehicles are more efficient than regular cars.

It explains why Tesla's electric vehicle sales will likely increase in the years to come.

It summarizes the effects of Tesla's vehicle sales on the environment.

Which of the following is the BEST summary of how Tesla may influence other auto makers?

While Tesla sales may not be enough to reduce carbon emissions, experts hope Tesla will influence other automakers.

Tesla could influence other automakers to develop more electric vehicles, and make the cost of batteries more affordable.

The global auto industry is extremely large, so it is important that Tesla is also bringing down the cost of the battery.

While Tesla is doing a lot to decrease global carbon emissions, sales of cars are expected to grow significantly.

Read the sentences. Bloomberg News Energy Finance thinks that the price of batteries will go down in 2022. In 2040, about 1 in 3 new cars could be electric. How might these sentences add to the article?

They provide evidence to show why electric cars could become more popular.

They provide details that prove electric cars will not fix global warming.

They explain why experts think there are not many electric cars in the world today.

They explain how Tesla plans to increase sales of its new Model 3 car.

Read the following paragraph Thus, much like what's already happened with wind and solar, it looks like we're at the beginning of a major boom in electric vehicles. But just like with wind and solar, these vehicles are starting out as a very small percentage of the world total. They can therefore enjoy very rapid growth, but that's not the same as rapidly fixing global warming. What does this paragraph accomplish?

It presents the realistic impact of electric vehicle sales on the global market.

It provides evidence that Tesla's sales will continue to rise.

It supports the idea that Tesla will have a significant impact on global warming.

It shows that the solar industry is similar to the electric vehicle industry.

Which answer choice provides an accurate and objective summary of the article?

Tesla's sales of electric vehicles are growing rapidly. While sales alone are not projected to significantly have an impact on world transportation and emissions, there is hope that the company could drive the rest of the industry to also produce more electric vehicles.

Over 6.7 billion tons of carbon dioxide are emitted into the atmosphere annually from transportation alone. By itself, Tesla stands little chance of significantly impacting the market for electric vehicle use.

Because there are so many cars and automakers in the world, Tesla alone cannot make a significant impact on global warming. It's vital for the planet that Tesla increase its sales.

Tesla aims to sell 500,000 electric vehicles by the year 2020. Because of Tesla's increased production of electric vehicles, battery costs have decreased 70 percent in the last four to five years, and they are expected to continue decreasing.

Which of the following are TWO MAIN ideas from the article?

Sales of Tesla's electric vehicles are increasing. Unless other automakers join in and create electric cars, climatechange will continue.

People are excited about Tesla's new Model 3 car. Global carbon emissions are increasing because of transportation.

Car sales are increasing across the world. Tesla is the most successful electric vehicle manufacturer in the United States.

Experts say it is difficult to slow global climate change. Tesla's electric vehicles are bringing down battery costs for consumers.
