Roasted green chiles are a popular ingredient in Southwestern cuisine, but the traditional roasting method of burning propane is not environmentally friendly. To see if solar power could provide a better alternative engineer Kenneth Armijo and his team roasted batches of green chiles using between 38 and 42 heliostats, which are devices that concentrate sunlight. The team was successful in reaching the same roasting temperature used in traditional propane roasting but they found that propane yielded faster results. While the fastest solar-roasted green chiles took six minutes. batches using propane took only four.

D evenly when roasting green chiles with solar power than with (D) The temperature inside the roasting drum is distributed more propane.

Answer 1

The question is about the hypothesis of engineer Kenneth Armijo that the roasting time for solar-roasted green chiles can be reduced by using more heliostats. Knowing that 38 to 42 heliostats can roast green chiles in 6 minutes and knowing that using propane can roast them in 4 minutes, Mr. Armijo believes that by increasing the number of heliostats the roasting time can be brought down. The question asks for a finding that directly supports this hypothesis. Options (B), (C), and (D) talk about taste, skins, and the temperature distribution of the roasting drum respectively. But none of these get into the hypothesis which is concerned with roasting time. The only option that directly speaks to the hypothesis is option (A). This option says that using 50 heliostats yields results in fewer than six minutes. This directly supports the claim that using more heliostats can reduce the roasting time. Therefore option (A) is the most direct support to Armijo's hypothesis.
