D 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

Correct answer: (b) 1, 3 and 4 only

Explanation

  1. A

    1, 2, 4 and 5

    1, 2, 4 and 5. EP100 was The Climate Group, not an IEA partnership as stated; IEA is not Under2’s secretariat.

  2. B

    1, 3 and 4 only

    1, 3 and 4 only. Climate Group exists; EP100 is corporate energy-efficiency; some Indian firms have joined. 2 and 5 fail.

  3. C

    2, 3 and 5 only

    2, 3 and 5 only. 2 and 5 are the false parents.

  4. D

    1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

    All five. Two institutional tags are wrong.

Summary. Official key is (b) 1, 3 and 4 only. The Climate Group is an international NGO. EP100 is its corporate energy-efficiency campaign; Indian companies have been members. IEA did not launch EP100 with it, and IEA is not the Under2 Coalition secretariat.
