Question

while researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: - according to researcher mohammad ryan fauzi, geothermal binary - cycle systems are the most effective systems for producing electrical energy. - binary - cycle systems are more effective than flash steam systems. flash steam systems and dry steam systems typically employ a single system, while binary - cycle systems use a secondary heat source to produce electricity from geothermal fluid. - a geothermal power plant in honduras uses a binary - cycle system. - fauzi says that binary - cycle systems pump 100% geothermal fluid back to the injection well. - binary - cycle systems have little or no emissions. the student wants to use a quotation from fauzi to explain an advantage of binary - cycle systems. which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal? a. compared with dry steam systems and flash steam systems, the binary - cycle system used at a geothermal power plant in honduras is capable of producing more energy per megawatt per year. fauzi notes. b. according to fauzi, making it easier to produce more electricity per megawatt per year, binary - cycle systems have little or no emissions, because it uses environmentally friendly. c. since they return all geothermal fluid to the injection well, binary - cycle systems—the most effective system for producing electricity—produce the least environmental impact, according to fauzi. d. the patazana plant uses a binary - cycle system to produce electricity; in this type of geothermal system, fluid is pumped back to the injection well. fauzi explains.

Explanation:

The goal is to use a Fazal quotation to explain an advantage of binary - cycle geothermal systems. Option A mentions producing more energy per megawatt per year as an advantage and quotes Fazal. Option B focuses on environmental friendliness but doesn't clearly state an advantage of binary - cycle systems over others. Option C just mentions returning fluid and low environmental impact without highlighting a key advantage. Option D is just a description of how the system works without an advantage.

Answer:

A. "Compared with dry - steam systems and flash - steam systems, the binary - cycle system used at the Pantarana geothermal plant is capable of producing more energy per megawatt per year," Fazal notes.
