Passage And Conclusion
Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
Wind is an inexhaustible source of energy and aerogenerator can convert it into electricity. Through not much has
so far been done in this field, the survey shows that there is a vast potential for developing wind as an alternative
source of energy. The wind survey has four components -- direction, duration, speed and distribution.
On this basis U P. hill areas have been found an ideal place for setting up aerogenerators. In U.P. hills alone, as
many as 58 sites have been identified.
- Wind, as a source of energy, can replace exhaustible sources of energy.
According to the passage, wind is an inexhaustible source of energy and efforts are
being made to develop wind as an alternative source of energy. This clearly implies
the given fact.

- Only the hilly areas of U.P. were surveyed for setting up aerogenerators
It ia mentioned in the passage that the wind survey showed that there is a vast
potential for harnessing wind energy This means that an overall survey must have
been made and not only of the hilly areas of U.P.
