Question

which sentence is a distinct controlling point that clearly states a position and demonstrates awareness of task, purpose, and audience? a every year, more people are looking to get energy from the wind. b we need to use renewable energy sources to keep our world healthy. c people are looking for energy that will not pollute the environment, and wind, a clean, renewable source of energy, is the answer to the energy problem. d renewable sources of energy come from natural resources that will not run out, such as sunlight, wind, and water.

Explanation:

To determine the distinct controlling point, we analyze each option:

• Option A only states a trend about wind energy usage, no clear position.
• Option B presents a general stance on renewable energy for a healthy world but lacks specificity about a solution.
• Option C clearly states a position (wind energy is the answer to the energy problem) and shows awareness of task (addressing energy issue), purpose (promote clean energy), and audience (those concerned about energy/environment). It connects the need for non - polluting energy to wind as the solution.
• Option D is a definition of renewable energy, not a controlling point with a position.

Answer:

C. People are looking for energy that will not pollute the environment, and wind, a clean, renewable source of energy, is the answer to the energy problem.
