Hackers Actual Test – Integrated Writing 8

The lecturer insists that human habitation of Venus is possible and presents several ways to
overcome obstacles to colonization. These solutions sufficiently address the problems mentioned in
the reading passage.

First and foremost, the lecturer claims that people could live in the structures built and placed in the
orbit of Venus. She states that at a certain altitude, Venus’s atmosphere has pressure similar to that
of Earth, so nothing would get crushed. This effectively solves the problem of Venus’s tremendous
air pressure mentioned in the reading passage.

On top of that, the lecturer argues that despite having no oxygen or water, the chemistry of Venus’s
air could be altered to produce both of these chemical substances. Using chemical reactions and an
electric spark, we can create oxygen and water. These methods can overcome the problem of water
and oxygen supplies mentioned in the reading passage.

Lastly, the lecturer contends that it is possible to collect heat energy from the sun high up in Venus’s
atmosphere. Moreover, she argues that solar energy can be obtained continuously. This is because
Venus rotates slowly, so solar panels can be kept on its sunny side all the time. This strategy can
remove the obstacles related to energy production discussed in the reading passage.
