Question

which of the following is a disadvantage of solar energy? *
there is a never ending amount of it.
it is has limited availability on cloudy days.
it reduces dependence on foreign oil.
it reduces electricity bills.

which of these images shows hydroelectric energy? *

option 1
option 2

Explanation:

First Question:

To determine the disadvantage of solar energy, we analyze each option:

• "There is a never - ending amount of it" is an advantage (renewable and abundant).
• "It has limited availability on cloudy days" is a disadvantage as solar panels rely on sunlight, and clouds can block or reduce it.
• "It reduces dependence on foreign oil" is an advantage as it lessens reliance on imported fossil fuels.
• "It reduces electricity bills" is an advantage as solar energy can offset traditional electricity usage.

Hydroelectric energy is generated by using the energy of moving water, typically in dams where water is stored and then released to turn turbines. Option 1 shows a dam with water flow, which is associated with hydroelectric power generation. Option 2 appears to be related to geothermal or another type of energy production (with underground pipes and what looks like steam, not water - based hydroelectric).

Answer:

B. It has limited availability on cloudy days.
