A Applications of various fuels B Natural resources and fossil fuels C A history of energy use D A historical overview of energy rates 37 The phrase “per person” is closest in meaning to A per capita B per year C per family D per day 38 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that A coal mining was essential for primitive peoples B the Greeks used coal in industrial production C the development of efficient fuels was a gradual process D the discovery of efficient fuels was mostly accidental 39 The phrase “in lieu” is closest in meaning to A in spite B in place C in every way D in charge 40 The author of the passage implies that in the 1700s, sources of energy were A used for commercial purposes B used in various combinations C not derived from mineral deposits D not always easy to locate 41 The phrase “the latter” refers to A wood B coal C most regions D climate zones 42 In line 18, the word “They” refers to A coal and wood B main sources of fuel C natural gas and oil D industrializing countries 43 According to the passage, what was the greatest advantage of oil as fuel?
