V. Read the following passage. For each question, complete the notes with NO MORE THAN ONE WORD.
Dear Mayor,
My name is Henry Little. I am the town's energy expert. I have completed my research on new renewable energy sources and have found a few that I would suggest. Solar panels work great during the day and are very cheap to build. Wind turbines are clean to run and will work great during the windy seasons like fall and spring. Finally, nuclear power is clean and can run all day. Renewable energy has many advantages over non-renewable sources like coal. However, the town should keep a natural gas power plant just in case it's cloudy or the wind stops. A good mix of both energy sources can help keep the lights on and reduce pollution, so I suggest the town increase the total use of renewable energy to 70%, close the coal power plant, and keep the natural gas plant.
Henry, the town’s ____(21)____ , completed his research on renewables. He suggested that the town use ____(22)____ because they work great during the day and wind turbines because they are ____(23)____ to run. Henry also suggested ____(24)____ because it can run all day, and the town should increase the total use of ____(25)____ energy to 70%.

Dear Mayor Khan,
My name is Henry. I recently visited your city, London, England, and I would like you to know how surprised I was at how clean and beautiful the city has become. On my last visit twenty years ago, the pollution was so terrible I had to stay inside the hotel during the day, and I could not exercise in the park. Now, the air is cleaner and easier to breathe. It was also great to see the dirty coal plant replaced with solar panels and wind turbines. I read in the newspaper that the city now gets 60% of its energy from renewable energy sources and will add another 20% by 2030. These changes make London more eco-friendly, and visitors like me notice the difference. My only suggestion to make the city more eco-friendly would be to reduce the use of natural gas for cooking.
