Question

what major lesson did the u.s. learn from the 1970s oil crisis? gasoline should only be used in emergencies. all fossil fuels are completely renewable. foreign nations can control energy prices.

Explanation:

• Analyze the 1970s oil crisis: It was caused by OPEC (foreign nations) imposing an embargo, leading to skyrocketing oil prices.
• Evaluate the options:
• "Gasoline should only be used in emergencies" is not a major lesson from the crisis.
• "All fossil fuels are completely renewable" is incorrect as fossil fuels are non - renewable.
• "Foreign nations can control energy prices" aligns with the experience of the 1970s oil crisis, where foreign oil - producing nations had a significant impact on energy prices in the U.S.

Answer:

C. Foreign nations can control energy prices. (Here we assume the options are labeled A, B, C in order. If the original options have different labels, adjust accordingly. The correct option text is "Foreign nations can control energy prices.")
