Question 11

The author provides information about where wave-capturing devices are located and how they work.

The author discusses various wave-capturing devices, detailing their deployment methods and locations, as well as how they convert wave energy into electricity. This information is presented both in the text and is likely summarized in the accompanying chart.

A) how they are made and which countries utilize them

This option is incorrect as the author does not discuss the manufacturing process of wave-capturing devices or specify which countries utilize them. The focus is instead on their functioning and deployment rather than their origin or production.

B) where they are located and how they work

This option is correct because the author describes different deployment methods and locations for wave-capturing devices, such as fixed, floating, onshore, near shore, and offshore. Additionally, the author explains how these devices convert the energy of moving water into electricity, thus addressing both where they are located and how they function.

C) who makes them and for what purpose

This option is incorrect as the author does not provide information about the manufacturers of wave-capturing devices or the specific purposes beyond energy generation. The discussion centers around the technology and its implications rather than its creators or specific applications.

D) how much electricity they generate and where they are positioned

This option is partially incorrect because while the author discusses the locations of wave-capturing devices, there is no specific information provided about the amount of electricity they generate. The focus is more on the mechanisms of energy capture rather than quantifying output.

Conclusion

The correct answer, B, encapsulates the core information provided by the author regarding wave-capturing devices, specifically emphasizing their operational mechanisms and deployment locations. Options A, C, and D fail to accurately reflect the content of the extract, as they either misinterpret the details or omit critical aspects of how the technology functions. Thus, B stands out as the most comprehensive and accurate representation of the information discussed.
