Q.6-10. Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
During war, petroleum was “as indispensable as blood” in the 20th century. In peace the oil business dominated stock markets, bankrolled despots and ____ (6) up the economies of entire countries. But the 21st century will see oil’s influence slacken. Cheap natural gas, renewable energy, electric vehicles and coordinated efforts to ____ (7) global warming together mean that the power source of choice will be electricity.
That is welcome. The electricity era will diminish the ____ (8) of the $2trn oil trade, reduce the choke points that have made oil a source of global tension, put energy production into local hands and make power more ____ (9) to the poor. It will also make the world cleaner and safer—reassuringly dull, even. The trouble is getting from here to there. Not just oil producers, but everyone else, too, may find the transition perilous.
Oil and electricity are a study in contrasts. Oil is a wonder fuel, packed with more energy by weight than coal and by volume than natural gas (both still the main sources of electricity). It is easy to ship, store and turn into myriad refined products, from petrol to plastics to pharmaceuticals. But it is found only in specific places favoured by geology. Its production is concentrated in a few hands, and its oligopolistic suppliers—from the Seven Sisters to OPEC and Russia—have consistently attempted to drip-feed it on to the market to ____ (10) prices high. Concentration and cartelisation make oil prone to crises and the governments of oil-rich states prone to corruption and abuse.
