How does solar energy conserve a natural resource?
I thought the sun, but maybe d?
We don't need to conserve (save) either sun or wind.
Oh, A?
Coal is a natural, nonrenewable resource.
So the answer is a since its natural?
Well, some natural resources are: "air, water, wood, oil, wind energy, hydro-electric energy, iron, and coal". ~Wiki-pedia

^ This has several of the resources said above in the answer selection above.

With the question, what do they want for a resource? A renewable resource, or a nonrenewable resource?

With Ms. Sue's comment about we don't need to "conserve (save) either sun or wind", it leaves A or C as possible answers. However, when you burn something, it doesn't really conserve that resource, so I don't think A is the answer.

So, I have to go with C as the answer. Also, when you think about it, have you ever heard that turning off lights when not in use, conserves energy(or electricity) as well?

I hope this helps! :)

P.S. Sorry about me not being on to help, my mind was distracted with my own schoolwork.

That wasn't me writing it was my sister I swear. I told her to stop.
She said she won't do it no more I promise I locked the door.
Is that why your name keeps on having a lower case at the beginning? Or...? I got kind of confused to if it was you or not, so I went with it because I didn't know.
No I put both too but I don't want to get in trouble she just copied me. About the gf. I was talking to her and she wrote when I wasn't looking. That's all for now
Oh, okay. That solves most of my confusion.

Also, I have to go now, because my mom says to log off. So I am really sorry. My Thanksgiving week long(plus some extra days) break is going to start when I log off. My mom says I am going to be busy throughout the entire break, so I believe I may not be able to come onto here. I will probably help you more in December.
For that Quick Check, the answers are:

1: B
2: C
3: D
4: A
