Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.

There is nothing remarkable about Feldheim, a picturesque village about 75 km southwest of Berlin. Except, that is, the tall wind turbines dotting the landscape around it, the only clue that this 40-household settlement is a role model in the world of renewable energy and self-sufficiency for energy consumers. Feldheim has become synonymous with the rise of the 'prosumer' (a new economy portmanteau of producer and consumer), a term finding resonance across the world.

With a wind farm, solar park, biogas plant, and Germany's largest battery storage system, the village is independent of the regional utility grid, getting all its electricity and heat - a significant factor in an area which experiences sub-zero winter temperatures - from a local grid paid for by residents, the municipality, EU subsidies and loans.

Project developer Energiequelle GmbH operates the 55 wind turbines (capacity 125.1 MW) on land leased from the villagers. Solar photovoltaic modules mounted on tracking systems generate additional power. Most of what is generated is sold to the grid, and residents pay much less than the national average for their electricity. In addition, there is a biogas plant, with an installed capacity of 526 kW. It is powered by slurry - dung mixed with water - from livestock, and energy crops like maize and rye cultivated in the village.

"While the power produced by the plant is fed into the grid, the heat is piped to households, cattle farms and small businesses, mostly handicrafts units, helping the community save about 1,60,000 litres of heating oil every year," says Werner Frohwitter, spokesman for Emergiequelle GmbH. A wood-chip boiler unit provides heat on extremely cold days.



Q6 With an installed capacity of how much is biogas plant available?


A. With an installed capacity of 562 KW

B. With an installed capacity of 526 kW

C. With an installed capacity of 527 KW

D. With an installed capacity of 528 KW



Q7 Where is the power produced by the plant fed?


A. It is fed to households.

B. It is fed into cattle farms.

C. It is fed into the grid.

D. It is fed into small businesses.



Q8 What does a wood-chip boiler unit provide?


A. It provides water in times of dearth.

B. It provides wind energy to run small businesses.

C. It provides heat on extremely cold days.

D. It provides sun rays directly to the plant.



Q9 How is the village independent of the regional utility grid?


A. With a wind farm and solar park

B. With biogas plant

C. With Germany's largest battery storage system

D. All A, B and C



Q10 What do the Solar photovoltaic modules mounted on tracking systems do?


A. They provide additional heat and wind

B. They provide additional rising temperature

C. They generate additional power

D. Both A and C
