The Great Wall of India

Almost everyone knows about the Great Wall of China, but there are very few people who know about the "Great Wall of India." This is a 22.4 mile-long wall, the second largest in the world. It surrounds the Kumbhalgarh Fort in the state of Rajasthan in India.
The fort was built in the fifteenth century by Rana Kumbha. The wall surrounding the fort is approximately 16 feet thick, and according to a historical account, eight horses could run on the wall alongside each other. The wall is majestic as it winds through valleys and mountaintops like a snake.
The fort is situated far from the city, and the remoteness and the sprawling beauty of the ancient monument add to the fort's attraction. Every day, thousands of visitors flock to the site, as the rich history of the fort draws tourists from all over the world like bees to flowers.

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.
