 ____30. Miss Jessica irons her clothes every weekend. She turns off her electric iron on the
last few minutes of ironing. Do you think this practice is advantageous in saving
electricity?

A. No, because it has still the same effect at all.

clothes.

____31. Johnny likes to play online games after days of working on his assignment. He
usually uses his cellphone while still on charge to avoid losing his game. Is this a
correct practice?

turns from side to side even if Kevin is the only one using it making his mother angry
knowing that this does not save electricity. What should Kevin do to conserve
electricity?

A. Kevin must lock the oscillator so air will be blown directly on one direction.
B. He better plugs the electric fan in an extension wire and have it directly faced
to him.
C. Whether oscillator is locked or not, there will be no effect at all on saving
electricity.
D. Kevin should rather turn off the electric fan so his mother will not be angry
anymore.
