Read the excerpt from "flight into yesterday.”

it was midmorning, july 2, 1937, when the two fliers climbed aboard their plane at lae, new guinea. the tropical sun blazed in a blue sky, and the plane glittered as it taxied toward one end of the airfield. its pilot was amelia earhart, whose faring flights had made her famous. with her navigator fred noonan, she was attempting what had never been done before: a flight around the world at the equator. so far they had flown 22,000 miles in less than a month. now they were starting the final legs of the trip.

3one of the biggest impacts a building has on earth is the energy it uses. currently, most of the world’s energy comes from burning fossil fuels. these fuels are dirty and when they are burned they pollute the air and water. one way to burn fewer fossil fuels is to reduce the amount of electricity a building has to use. passive solar heating, which uses heat from the sun, reduces the amount of fossil fuel used to heat buildings. passive solar heating requires a south-facing wall made of glass. when sunlight shines through the wall, it is collected and used to warm the building. another way green buildings reduce their electricity use is to install other energy sources. for example, some green buildings use panels that turn energy from the sun into useable electricity. which is the best summary of paragraph 3? a) fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water. most of the world's energy comes from these fuels. b) the biggest problem of buildings is that they use fuel that is dirty for heating. they need to do something to be more energy efficient. c) panels that turn energy from the sun into electricity and passive solar heating can stop the burning of fossil fuels which pollute air and water. d) since fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water, other technologies that pollute less and produce energy have been developed like solar energy and green buildings.
