Section BRead this paragraph and answer the questions. San Francisco has banned natural gas in new residential and commercial buildings. The policy requires that new construction, other than for restaurants, use only electric power. Currently, renewables power 70% of the city’s grid. This ban on gas came shortly after the announcement that commercial buildings over 4,500 sqm in San Francisco must run solely on renewable electricity. Construction was particularly in focus because the building sector alone accounts for 44% of San Francisco’s citywide emissions. This policy was introduced because natural gas is a major source of indoor air pollution, and the change would lead to improved public health outcomes, as well as lower greenhouse gas emissions. Fill in the gap with ONE WORD from the paragraph. 3. Newly built Answer Question 3[input] are the only exception to the new policy.

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The sentence in the paragraph explicitly reads “The policy requires that new construction, other than for restaurants, use only electric power,” so the one-word exception taken directly from the text is restaurants.

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- You must extract a single word from the given paragraph that fills the blank.
- The blank completes the sentence “Newly built ______ are the only exception to the new policy.” The correct word must match the clause in the paragraph that names the exception.

2. Step-by-step reasoning
- Scan the paragraph for any clause that identifies an exception to the new electric-only rule.
- Locate the sentence: “The policy requires that new construction, other than for restaurants, use only electric power.”
- The phrase “other than for restaurants” explicitly identifies restaurants as the exception to the policy.
- Substitute the word restaurants into the blank: “Newly built restaurants are the only exception to the new policy.” This mirrors the meaning of the paragraph exactly.

3. Intermediate steps / checks
- Confirm grammatical fit: “restaurants” is plural and fits with “are the only exception.”
- Confirm lexical match: “restaurants” appears verbatim in the paragraph and is the single word naming the exception.

4. Why this answer is correct
- The paragraph directly states restaurants are excluded from the ban on gas in new construction. Using the exact word “restaurants” preserves both meaning and grammatical agreement.

5. Why other candidate words would be incorrect
- “Construction” or “buildings” appear in the paragraph but do not indicate an exception; they describe the scope of the policy.
- “Commercial” is an adjective, so it cannot stand alone as the noun naming the exception.
- No other single word in the paragraph identifies an exception the way “restaurants” does.

Conclusion
The correct one-word fill is restaurants, which matches the provided answer.
