    • Arrive

    • Realise

    • Reach

    • Achieve

    Correct Answer
    A. Reach
    Explanation
    The word "reach" is the correct answer for blank number 11. The sentence states that surfers are concerned that the energy taken from the waves may result in a reduction of as much as eleven percent in the height of those waves when they reach the shore. This implies that the waves will reach the shore and the height reduction will occur at that point. Therefore, "reach" is the appropriate word to fill in the blank.

    • Plausible

    • Surely

    Correct Answer
    A. Likely
    Explanation
    The word "likely" is the correct answer for blank number 4. This is because it suggests that Wave Hub is expected or predicted to support the largest concentration of wave-energy machines anywhere in the world once it is in operation. It implies a high probability or likelihood of this outcome.

    • Limbs

    • Branches

    • Wings

    • Prongs

    Correct Answer
    A. Branches
    Explanation
    The question asks for the missing word in blank number 7. The context of the passage is discussing different types of renewable energy technology, specifically wind power and solar power.

    • Lag

    • Leave

    • Drag

    • Delay

    Correct Answer
    A. Lag
    Explanation
    The correct answer for the blank number 6 is "lag". This is because the sentence states that wave power has tended to lag behind wind power and solar power in terms of development. "Lag" means to fall behind or fail to keep up with others, which accurately describes the slower progress of wave power compared to wind and solar power.
