(1) The nation's energy use is largely dependent on fossil fuels. (2) These fuels are nonrenewable resources, and they cause pollution. (3) We cannot continue our reliance on a fuel that will eventually run out. (4) Thus, we must find
other ways to sustain our energy demands. (5) Pursuing alternative fuel sources is the key to solving our energy
crisis.
(6) Currently, about 1 percent of energy in the United States is produced by the sun, and solar energy has the
potential to become a more widely used energy source. (7) Through different technologies, such as solar cells,
scientists have learned to use the sun's radiation to create electricity. (8) Solar energy is both inexhaustible and
clean. (9) The major limit to this alternative source is that equipment is expensive. (10) Developing a cost-effective
way to harness the power of the sun will be a significant development in solving our energy crisis.
Which statement introduces a new counterclaim to the author's position?
1.Batteries are being developed to harness the sun's power for use at a later time.
2. The production of solar energy is relatively quiet, reducing noise pollution.
3.Solar panels can be placed in remote areas, which is more cost effective than installing high-voltage wires.
4.The use of solar energy is especially limited in areas that do not get regular sunlight.

4.The use of solar energy is especially limited in areas that do not get regular sunlight.

Explanation:

The best counterclaim to the author's position is numeral 4)

While it is true that solar energy has the potential to be more widely used, and that the production of electricity throught sun's energy is becoming more cheaper, it is also true that some geographical regions do not get regular sunlight during many periods of the year, and in this area, relying on solar energy is not very practical.

halloween: it’s my favorite holiday

halloween is one of the best holidays for some people but it can also be scary for others. halloween is a holiday where some people believe spirits and soul of the dead that haven’t moved on will come back again to haunt the lives of the living. this is why many people dress up in costumes to disguise themselves as someone else. some people like us wish to be something that we would benefit in life from. like angels of god. some dress up just to be unique from the others. many families stay home and watch scary movies and others dress in their tremendous costumes and knock on each door to either get a trick or a treat.

personally everybody loves halloween because i could be someone else one day out of the year. it’s fun and entertaining, especially for kids. halloween also has a lot of history. many myths and beliefs say that witches and warlocks are alive and living among us. is this a trick or a truthful treat?

halloween may have secrets and scary things behind the door but we love halloween and it is beautiful to see how happy children are when each door opens full of treats and goodies. it makes everyone happy. happy halloween day.
