Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
When we think of the renewable energy transition, we often have in mind dark blue photovoltaic rectangles carpeting the landscape or large three-blade horizontal axis wind turbines marching along mountain ridges or into the sea. We think about grid reliability and consumer cost per kilowatt-hour, or we think about the climate change apocalypse that we will impose on future generations if we fail to act swiftly enough. All of these elements are important from technical and policy perspectives, but there is something missing that will be key to success if we are to meet the goals that we have set for ourselves. We must recognize the importance of human culture to the realization of change.
It is a lack of imagination that has brought us to the brink, and it will be an influx of imagination that can possibly pull us back from it. If we are going to succeed in reducing carbon emissions, we must make the solutions more visible, inspire the general public, and get people excited about the renewable energy transition.
This is the mission of the Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI), a nonprofit that works with cities around the world on civic art installations that also function as renewable energy infrastructures. These generous works of art give back more than just beauty and return more than just kilowatt hours on their capital investment. LAGI design competitions have changed the way that cities and developers manage the integration of public art and creative placemaking into the master planning process for new developments. Competitions for Dubai/Abu Dhabi (2010), New York City (2012), Copenhagen (2014), Glasgow (2015), Santa Monica (2016), Willimantic (2017), and Melbourne (2018) have brought in over 1,000 designs from 60+ countries.

Theo đoạn 1, điều cân nhắc nào mà các nhà xây dựng đã không để ý?
A. Giá cả cho năng lượng bền vững
B. Hậu quả không mong muốn trong tương lai
C. Các ảnh hưởng của dự án đến con người
D. Độ bền của đường dây điện
Căn cứ vào thông tin đoạn đầu:
We think about grid reliability and consumer cost per kilowatt-hour, or we think about the climate change apocalypse that we will impose on future generations if we fail to act swiftly enough. (Chúng ta nghĩ về độ tin cậy của hệ thống đường dây điện và chi phí tiêu dùng mỗi kilowatt-giờ, hoặc chúng ta nghĩ về ngày tận thế biến đổi khí hậu, cái mà chúng ta sẽ gây ra cho thế hệ tương lai nếu chúng ta không hành động đủ nhanh chóng.)
