Question

according to paragraph 6, what is a current benefit of electric vehicles?
electric vehicles are less expensive than gas - powered cars.
makers of electric vehicles advertise 500 miles on a single battery charg
cell batteries are not rechargeable.
evs produce no carbon pollution.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Electric vehicles are less expensive than gas - powered cars" is generally not true currently as EVs often have higher upfront costs.
• "Makers of electric vehicles advertise 500 miles on a single battery charge" is a claim (advertising) and not a current benefit in the sense of an advantage, also many EVs don't have 500 - mile range yet.
• "Cell batteries are not rechargeable" is false as EV batteries are rechargeable.
• "EVs produce no carbon pollution" is a current benefit because electric vehicles, when operating, don't emit carbon pollutants (though the source of electricity may have carbon emissions, the vehicle itself doesn't produce carbon pollution during use).

Answer:

D. EVs produce no carbon pollution.
