Question ID:PT13 S4 Q3 Passage:Kim: Some people claim that the battery-powered electric car represents a potential solution to the problem of air pollution. But they forget that it takes electricity to recharge batteries and that most of our electricity is generated by burning polluting fossil fuels. Increasing the number of electric cars on the road would require building more generating facilities since current facilities are operating at maximum capacity. So even if all of the gasoline-powered cars on the roads today were replaced by electric cars, it would at best be an exchange of one source of fossil-fuel pollution for another. Stem:The main point made in Kim’s argument is that Correct Answer Choice:DChoice A:replacing gasoline-powered cars with batterypowered electric cars will require building more generating facilities Choice B:a significant reduction in air pollution cannot be achieved unless people drive less Choice C:all forms of automobile transportation are equally harmful to the environment in terms of the air pollution they produce Choice D:battery-powered electric cars are not a viable solution to the air-pollution problem Choice E:gasoline-powered cars will probably remain a common means of transportation for the foreseeable future
