Solutions

S1. Ans. (is)
Sol. The resulting “empty seat” at the recent G-7 meeting was not only a low point for the desired gathering in France, but also disappointing for those who are aware of catastrophic climate change. At the beginning of June, most of the Europeans are affected by the heat wave, a recent phenomenon in this part of the world. At the same time, the city of Chennai on the Bay of Bengal found its population of five million struggling for drinking water. In the African Peninsula, another port city, Cape Town, suffered a similar fate, causing the water to be forced to park. Despite the devastation caused by climate change, there is insufficient funding to support renewable energy and mitigate environmental change. The International Energy Agency estimates that 53 trillion dollars are needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Therefore, the correct order of the rearranged sentences would be CFAEBDG. This makes option (e) correct.
