Question

Which of the following would not be a way we can cut back on our use of oil?

OA. Using cars that are more fuel efficient
B. Better insulating our homes and windows
C. Using more public transportation
D. Using more air conditioning in the summers.

Answer 1

Answer: D
Using more air conditioning increases energy used, and increases amount of oil used

Answer 2

Answer: D. Using more air conditioning in the summers.

Explanation: Using more air conditioning in the summers would likely increase energy consumption, and air conditioning systems often rely on electricity generated from various sources, including those that use oil. The other options—using more fuel-efficient cars, better insulating homes and windows, and using more public transportation—are ways to reduce oil consumption and promote energy efficiency.
