Consider Text II to answer question.

“I am a bit apprehensive of the temptation of relegating to the background the lofty and creative initiative of Brazil in the sugar cane-based ethanol and other biofuel energy products, the moment the drilling of these huge oil wells in Tupi and its satellite oil wells takes off in earnest, amid challenging circumstances, though. My advice is that while Brazil is joyfully tinkering with the prospect of raking in colossal petro-dollar money, she shouldn’t, by any means, lose sight of the need to consolidate investment in the already standard setting, functional, renewable and clean energy source that is the ethanol. The government should find a perfect mix in due course.”

The author of the comment above expresses concern for the forecast presented in Text II since

A

he fears the high investments in the new oil fields will only take off when Brazil manages to find a perfect partner to drill the huge Tupi wells.

B

he believes Brazil should be investing more in oil extraction facilities to consolidate its rank among the major world oil producers.

C

Brazil is the world’s largest producer of ethanol and should not be worried about probing other offshore sites to increase its oil production.

D

all of the investments in Brazil’s new oil and gas potential should not undermine its endeavors in producing greener fuels.

E

the Tupi wells will not render the petro-dollars needed to continue empirical research on renewable energy sources.
