Answer 1

To order the activities from the greatest to least impact in reducing fossil fuel consumption, we should consider the relative emissions associated with each mode of transportation.

1. **Walk to work** - This has the greatest impact as it has zero fossil fuel consumption.
2. **Carpool to work** - This significantly reduces the number of cars on the road, thereby lowering fossil fuel consumption per person compared to driving alone.
3. **Drive an electric car to work** - While electric cars reduce fossil fuel use compared to gasoline cars, they still depend on the source of their electricity (e.g., if it's generated using fossil fuels).
4. **Drive alone to work** - This has the least impact as it involves the greatest individual fossil fuel consumption.

Given this reasoning, the correct order from greatest to least impact would be:

**Walk to work, carpool to work, drive an electric car to work, drive alone to work.**

Since this exact ordering is not in your provided options, the best available choice reflecting the understanding that walking has the most significant impact is:

**Walk to work, carpool to work, drive alone to work.**
