Which TWO advantages of using newer buildings for green roofs are mentioned in Paragraph C of the passage?
-
a longer period for growing edible produce
-
more efficient use of water
-
increased capacity for storing water
-
the ability to grow a wider variety of plants
-
a broad surface area for cultivating plants
(A) is incorrect. Choice A says "a longer period for growing edible produce", but the supporting evidence for the correct answers is "Newer structures can usually bear more weight than retro-fitted older ones, so they can store more water at roof height. allow deeper soil, which makes it easier to grow a wider range of plants.". That evidence does not give Choice A as one of the two required statements.
(B) is incorrect. Choice B says "more efficient use of water", but the supporting evidence for the correct answers is "Newer structures can usually bear more weight than retro-fitted older ones, so they can store more water at roof height. allow deeper soil, which makes it easier to grow a wider range of plants.". That evidence does not give Choice B as one of the two required statements.
(C) is correct. Choice C matches the question because "increased capacity for storing water" is directly supported by the passage evidence: "Newer structures can usually bear more weight than retro-fitted older ones, so they can store more water at roof height.". That sentence gives one of the required ideas for "Which TWO advantages of using newer buildings for green roofs are mentioned in Paragraph C of the passage?".
(D) is correct. Choice D matches the question because "the ability to grow a wider variety of plants" is directly supported by the passage evidence: "allow deeper soil, which makes it easier to grow a wider range of plants.". That sentence gives one of the required ideas for "Which TWO advantages of using newer buildings for green roofs are mentioned in Paragraph C of the passage?".
(E) is incorrect. Choice E says "a broad surface area for cultivating plants", but the supporting evidence for the correct answers is "Newer structures can usually bear more weight than retro-fitted older ones, so they can store more water at roof height. allow deeper soil, which makes it easier to grow a wider range of plants.". That evidence does not give Choice E as one of the two required statements.

Which TWO aims of new variations on the concept of green roofs are mentioned in Paragraph E of the passage?
-
to create habitats for many different species
-
to cultivate plants successfully even in very wet climates
-
to control the temperature of the nearby environment
-
to produce energy from a renewable source
-
to gather water for use by other buildings
(A) is correct. Choice A matches the question because "to create habitats for many different species" is directly supported by the passage evidence: "Green roofs can also be paired with solar panels, and brown roofs are wilder designs intended to maximise biodiversity.". That sentence gives one of the required ideas for "Which TWO aims of new variations on the concept of green roofs are mentioned in Paragraph E of the passage?".
(B) is incorrect.
