Engineer: Some people argue that the world’s energy problems could be solved by mining the Moon for helium-3, which could be used for fuel in fusion reactors. But this is nonsense. Even if it were possible to mine the Moon for helium-3, the technology needed to build viable fusion reactors that could use such fuel is at least 50 years away. If the world’s energy problems are not solved before then, it will be too late to solve those problems.
The main point of the argument is that
(A) mining the Moon for helium-3 is currently not feasible
(B) fusion reactors that are now being planned are not designed to use helium-3 as fuel
(C) people who advocate mining the Moon for helium-3 do not realize that fusion reactors could be designed to use fuels other than helium-3
(D) mining the Moon for helium-3 is not a possible solution to the world’s energy problems
(E) if the world’s energy problems are not solved within the next 50 years, it will be too late to solve those problems

Even if it were possible to mine the Moon for helium-3, the technology needed to build viable fusion reactors that could use such fuel is at least 50 years away. If the world’s energy problems are not solved before then, it will be too late to solve those problems.
The main point of the argument is that
Question Type : Main Point
Meaning: the technology needed to build viable fusion reactors that use helium-3 is not currently present and If the world’s energy problems are not solved before then, it will be too late to solve those problems.
(A) mining the Moon for helium-3 is currently not feasible. Its feasible
(B) fusion reactors that are now being planned are not designed to use helium-3 as fuel .True but this is just a part of the argument and not the main point( where is the concern for current energy problem)
(C) people who advocate mining the Moon for helium-3 do not realize that fusion reactors could be designed to use fuels other than helium-3. Irrelevant
(D) mining the Moon for helium-3 is not a possible solution to the world’s energy problems. Perfectly describes the whole content
(E) if the world’s energy problems are not solved within the next 50 years, it will be too late to solve those problems..True but this is just a part of the argument and not the main point( Where is discussion of helium-3 gone)
D is our answer.

ARGUMENT
= mining for h-3 to use for fusion could solve our probs
= but, fusion won't be ready for at least 50 yrs
= thus, mining for h-3 wont solve our probs
CONCLUSION
Ans (D) mining is not a solution
