Praxis 5511 Practice Question
Which THREE energy resources contain carbon?
Correct Answer: A, C, D
Rationale: Petroleum, coal, and natural gas are fossil fuels that contain carbon, making them significant contributors to carbon emissions when burned. Petroleum (A) is a liquid fossil fuel derived from ancient organic materials. Coal (C) is a solid fossil fuel primarily composed of carbon, formed from decomposed plants over millions of years. Natural gas (D), mainly methane, also contains carbon and is used widely for energy.
In contrast, uranium (B) is a non-carbon-based element used in nuclear energy production, which does not emit carbon during electricity generation. Thus, it does not fit the criteria.
