Correct Answer: harness


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

It means to utilise or control something, especially natural resources, and use it to produce energy. In the context of energy resources, harness is the most appropriate word, as it means effectively using and managing these resources.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Collect: This word means to bring together or accumulate things, but it may not fully capture the idea of utilising resources effectively.
  • Gather: This word implies the act of collecting or assembling things, which is related to resource management but not as specifically related to energy resources.
  • Muster: This word means to assemble or gather troops or people, and it doesn't convey the idea of managing energy resources.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The government must harness all resources of energy."
