Q:

Savion listed the steps involved when nuclear power plants generate electricity.  Nuclear reaction occurs.  Nuclear energy is converted to radiant and thermal energy.  Heat is used to generate steam.   Light and heat are released.  Steam turns turbines.  Mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy. Which best explains how to correct Savion’s error? In step 2, change “radiant and thermal ” to “chemical and mechanical.” Reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3.  Reorder the steps so that step 6 appears before step 5.  In step 6, change “mechanical” to “thermal.”Which best explains how to correct Savion’s error?In step 2, change “radiant and thermal ” to “chemical and mechanical.”Reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3. Reorder the steps so that step 6 appears before step 5. In step 6, change “mechanical” to “thermal.”

Accepted Solution

A:
1. Nuclear reaction occurs.  
2. Nuclear energy is converted to radiant and thermal energy.  
3. Heat is used to generate steam.   
4. Light and heat are released.  
5. Steam turns turbines.  
6. Mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy. 

looking at the steps, 3 n 4 are in reverse order. so ans is Reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3.
