The trees would reduce the force of the wind. The windmills would destroy the forests. The electricity generated would be too far away from cities to be useful. Forest animals would destroy the windmills.
I gave my students this multiple choice question: A wind farm contains a large number of windmills to generate electricity. Which is the BEST reason wind farms are not located near forests?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- The trees would reduce the force of the wind.
- The windmills would destroy the forests.
- The electricity generated would be too far away from cities to be useful.
- Forest animals would destroy the windmills.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

The trees would reduce the force of the wind.
