a. First, our team reviewed the assumption that adding more solar panels to the system. b. We then compared that assumption with observations from several settings. c. The comparison revealed an important limitation: building more lines alone will not solve congestion if market rules encourage projects in locations the network cannot serve efficiently. d. Consequently, we redesigned the study to include contextual evidence. e. The revised design produced conclusions that were narrower but more defensible.

a. My interest in electricity grid modernisation began with a local question rather than a grand theory. b. During university, I learned that the issue involved system operators, regulators, utilities, generators, communities, and electricity users. c. I therefore combined technical training with community-based fieldwork. d. That combination eventually led me to coordinate the ‘Power Without Bottlenecks’ programme. e. I now value the role because it joins analysis with practical accountability.

Paragraph 1. Electricity grids connect generators, storage, and users while continuously balancing supply and demand. Public debate, however, often reduces the issue to adding more solar panels to the system. That narrow view overlooks the technical, social, and institutional relationships that determine real outcomes.
Paragraph 2. As wind, solar, electric vehicles, and data centres expand, power flows become more variable and geographically dispersed, increasing the need for transmission, distribution upgrades, and flexibility. These processes explain why isolated observations can be misleading and why changes may differ among places or groups.
Paragraph 3. Connection queues in many regions contain large volumes of proposed renewable and storage capacity, showing that network access has become a major constraint. The evidence therefore supports careful action, but not mechanical conclusions. Building more lines alone will not solve congestion if market rules encourage projects in locations the network cannot serve efficiently.
Paragraph 4. Coordinated planning, digital monitoring, faster permitting, storage, and demand response can complement new power lines. Grid-enhancing technologies and better locational signals may unlock capacity while larger infrastructure is developed. In this sense, progress depends on both technical capacity and accountable cooperation among system operators, regulators, utilities, generators, communities, and electricity users.

[I] Efforts to address electricity grid modernisation have expanded as its links to wider social, environmental, and institutional outcomes have become clearer. [II] Yet expansion has also exposed a recurring mistake: success is often measured through a single convenient indicator. [III] For that reason, an apparently efficient intervention may fail when it ignores who bears the costs and who can influence decisions. [IV]
Paragraph 2. Several forces encourage narrow decision-making. Agencies may face short funding cycles, incomplete data, fragmented responsibilities, and pressure to announce rapid results. These constraints can privilege visible outputs over durable outcomes.
Paragraph 3. The consequences are not merely technical. A measure may improve an average while worsening conditions for a vulnerable group; it may solve one stage of a problem while transferring costs to another; or it may create dependence on systems that local institutions cannot maintain.
Paragraph 4. A more credible approach begins by defining the problem with affected people, testing assumptions, comparing alternatives, and monitoring unintended effects. Although this process is slower, it makes adaptation possible when conditions change. In complex systems, the quality of learning can be as important as the apparent certainty of an initial plan.

Paragraph 3. The consequences are not merely technical. A measure may improve an average while worsening conditions for a vulnerable group; it may solve one stage of a problem while transferring costs to another; or it may create dependence on systems that local institutions cannot maintain.
Paragraph 4. A more credible approach begins by defining the problem with affected people, testing assumptions, comparing alternatives, and monitoring unintended effects. Although this process is slower, it makes adaptation possible when conditions change. In complex systems, the quality of learning can be as important as the apparent certainty of an initial plan.

Paragraph 1. Electricity grids connect generators, storage, and users while continuously balancing supply and demand. Public debate, however, often reduces the issue to adding more solar panels to the system. That narrow view overlooks the technical, social, and institutional relationships that determine real outcomes.
Paragraph 2. As wind, solar, electric vehicles, and data centres expand, power flows become more variable and geographically dispersed, increasing the need for transmission, distribution upgrades, and flexibility. These processes explain why isolated observations can be misleading and why changes may differ among places or groups.
Paragraph 3. Connection queues in many regions contain large volumes of proposed renewable and storage capacity, showing that network access has become a major constraint. The evidence therefore supports careful action, but not mechanical conclusions. Building more lines alone will not solve congestion if market rules encourage projects in locations the network cannot serve efficiently.
Paragraph 4. Coordinated planning, digital monitoring, faster permitting, storage, and demand response can complement new power lines. Grid-enhancing technologies and better locational signals may unlock capacity while larger infrastructure is developed. In this sense, progress depends on both technical capacity and accountable cooperation among system operators, regulators, utilities, generators, communities, and electricity users.
Which of the following is NOT presented as a central feature of the issue?
A.The need to interpret evidence in context
B.A universal solution that works identically in every setting

[I] Efforts to address electricity grid modernisation have expanded as its links to wider social, environmental, and institutional outcomes have become clearer. [II] Yet expansion has also exposed a recurring mistake: success is often measured through a single convenient indicator. [III] For that reason, an apparently efficient intervention may fail when it ignores who bears the costs and who can influence decisions. [IV]
Paragraph 2. Several forces encourage narrow decision-making. Agencies may face short funding cycles, incomplete data, fragmented responsibilities, and pressure to announce rapid results. These constraints can privilege visible outputs over durable outcomes.
Paragraph 3. The consequences are not merely technical. A measure may improve an average while worsening conditions for a vulnerable group; it may solve one stage of a problem while transferring costs to another; or it may create dependence on systems that local institutions cannot maintain.
Paragraph 4. A more credible approach begins by defining the problem with affected people, testing assumptions, comparing alternatives, and monitoring unintended effects. Although this process is slower, it makes adaptation possible when conditions change. In complex systems, the quality of learning can be as important as the apparent certainty of an initial plan.
Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit? ‘A broader evaluation must therefore examine distribution, governance, and long-term capacity.’
A.[IV]
B.[I]
