Climate passage - Green energy assumptions

Reading Comp.Climate / Environment passageRC - Assumption validation● Medium

Question

With reference to the passage, the following assumptions have been made:

1.
Green energy production can be linked to/integrated with the climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.
2.
Effects of climate change are much more severe in coastal and mountainous regions.

Options

I only

Answer

II only

Both I and II

Neither I nor II

Explanation

Statement I is a valid assumption because the passage explicitly links regional challenges with "opportunities for reducing emissions" and "harnessing wind power," merging mitigation (green energy) with broad climate strategies. Statement II makes a comparative judgment ("much more severe") that is nowhere supported in the text. The passage merely states that different regions face distinctive or unique challenges, not that coastal or mountainous areas suffer objectively worse effects than drier districts.

Comparative descriptors ("more severe", "higher than") in assumption questions are almost always traps unless explicitly backed by hard data in the passage.

Answer: (a).
