Digital SAT Reading and Writing Practice Question #1308

While researching renewable energy storage, an engineering student took the following notes: • Vanadium redox flow batteries store electrical energy in liquid electrolyte tanks. • Unlike lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries separate energy capacity (tank volume) from power output (membrane stack surface area). • Vanadium flow batteries experience virtually zero capacity degradation over 20,000 charge cycles. • Their primary limitation is lower energy density compared to solid-state batteries, requiring larger physical installations. • Municipal utilities deploy flow batteries for multi-hour grid storage rather than consumer electronics. The student wants to contrast vanadium redox flow batteries with lithium-ion batteries regarding scalability and durability. Which choice most effectively uses the relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
