What is stated in the first paragraph?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To begin, let's examine what the question asks: identify what is stated in the first paragraph.
Option a: 'Australia has increased the energy efficiency rating requirement for new houses.' If the first paragraph indeed states this, then this option accurately reflects the primary claim introduced at the start.
Option b: 'The amount of homes built with 5-Star Energy Efficiency in Australia has decreased.' This describes a trend (a decrease) rather than a direct initial statement, and it contradicts the idea of an increase that is presented in option a. It would only be correct if the first paragraph were about a decline, which would not align with option a.
Option c: 'Builders must use special software tools to meet the new requirements.' This focuses on a procedural detail (the use of software) rather than the substantive claim about changing requirements. The first paragraph is typically used to present the main change itself, not the implementation method, unless the paragraph explicitly mentions the software.
Putting these together, option a is the statement that aligns with a primary change announced in the initial paragraph, while options b and c describe different angles (a trend vs. an implementation detail) that would only be correct if the first paragraph had stated them explicitly. Therefore, the reasoning supports option a as the statement introduced by the first paragraph.
Note: If the actual first paragraph contained different wording, the alignment could change, but based on the provided options and common structuring, option a is the best fit for the first paragraph's content.
