In the domain of solar innovation, progress is both subtle and ground-breaking. From solar panels adorned with nanowires to windows that magically transform light into electricity, the spectrum of innovations is as diverse as promising.

India stands not as a mere spectator but as a prominent player in the global solar revolution. India currently stands 4th globally in solar power capacity. In the last five years, the country's solar installed capacity has experienced a monumental transformation. With ambitious targets and policies like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI), the Solar Park Scheme, designed to establish 50 Solar Parks of 500 MW, and schemes such as PM-KUSUM aimed to achieve solar power capacity addition of 30.8 GW by March 2026 are transforming India's agricultural sector. With the Rooftop Solar Programme for the residential sector and the Off-grid Solar PV Applications Programme for rural areas, India is propelling itself to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. The commitment is not just towards sustainable energy but towards securing a greener tomorrow for the entire planet.

As we move forward, the solar industry's declining costs, enhanced energy storage solutions, and grid advancements take centre stage. The industry has witnessed increased decentralisation, widespread adoption, and a surge in solar projects, reflecting a commitment to a sustainable energy future. Solar energy is becoming not just an option but a global necessity.

The journey is not just towards sustainable energy but towards a vibrant and resilient economy illuminated by the sun's rays.

Which word in the passage means the same as 'enormous'?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> "surge" means a sudden increase or forward movement, not the same as enormous.

Option 2 -> "monumental" means great in size, extent, or importance, which is synonymous with enormous.

Option 3 -> "propelling" means driving or pushing forward, not related to size or magnitude.

Option 4 -> "resilient" means able to recover or bounce back, not related to size.


Hence, Option 2: monumental -> The passage uses "monumental transformation" to describe the enormous change in India's solar installed capacity over the last five years, making it the perfect synonym for "enormous" in this context -> correct
