Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. For the first question about tax - breaks for clean - energy companies: Tax breaks are an economic incentive. They reduce the cost for companies investing in clean energy, which can tip the economic balance in favor of clean energy, making it more profitable. Option A is more about awareness rather than the direct effect of tax breaks. Option C is not directly related to tax breaks as a main factor for following public preferences. Option D is incorrect as tax breaks are not about allowing more energy use but about promoting clean - energy investment.
  2. For the second question about invasive species: By definition, an invasive species is a non - native species that is introduced to a new area, becomes widespread, and competes with native species for resources. Option A is incorrect as it refers to a native species. Option B does not fully capture the non - native and competitive nature. Option D refers to a natural range expansion of a native species, not an invasive one.

Answer:

  1. B. It would tip the economic balance to make clean energy more profitable.
  2. C. A species that's introduced to a place where it's not native and there becomes widespread and competes with local species for the available resources.
