Question

what is one use of soil mentioned in the text?
ing glass
producing electricity
providing shelter
building roads

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze each option:

• "Making glass" typically uses materials like sand (not soil as a primary use for glass - making).
• "Producing electricity" is not a common use of soil.
• "Providing shelter" – Soil can be used in construction (e.g., adobe bricks) for shelter, but we also consider road - building. Soil (along with aggregates) is a key component in road construction (base layers, etc.). Among the options, "Building roads" is a well - known use of soil (as part of road - building materials like subgrade or with aggregates).

Answer:

D. Building roads (assuming the blue option is D; if the options are labeled as A: [partial]king glass, B: Producing electricity, C: Providing shelter, D: Building roads, then the answer is D. Building roads)
