 Passage 2 (Passage with Multiple Choice Answer Type Questions)

The civilisation is growing faster and our need for energy is increasing day-by-day. We use energy in the form of petrol, diesel and natural gas. These are likely to be exhausted in due course of times as they are fossil fuels and people are continuously using it. People are using energy in home, office, hospitals, industries and through transportation. Electricity is also a form of energy and depends on availability of petrol and water resources.

Everybody is facing the problem of energy shortage. We can suppress our demand and minimise non-essential consumption. Industry can also reduce wastage by using materials requiring lower energy. It should curtail heat loss to the environment and can save energy by adopting quality control measures. Power cut can save energy or conserve it for better usage.

Energy conservation is possible through modernisation of plant and equipment. Electronics items like the television, radio and computer can be used carefully. Wasteful usage of lights can be avoided. People should travel in bus and railways while commuting to save energy. Animals can be used for transportation for short distances. Energy shortage is a global problem and need to be solved as our future generation needs it.
