Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba. Which fact about Malawi helps the reader understand what the excerpt is mostly about? The wind would spin the blades of the windmill, rotate the magnets in a dynamo, and create electricity. Attach a wire to the dynamo and you could power anything, especially a bulb. All I needed was a windmill, and then I could have lights. No more kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath. With a windmill, I could stay awake at night reading instead of going to bed at seven with the rest of Malawi. O Malawi lacked sufficient resources to generate energy. Malawi was a small, rural country on the African continent. O Malawi had citizens who liked to go to sleep early in the evening. O Malawi provided kerosene lamps to its population for reading.

Malawi lacked sufficient resources to generate energy.

Explanation:

Malawi lacked sufficient resources to generate energy and this is evident from the excerpt. The writer compared the possibilities of using a windmill and his present condition caused by the absence of power in Malawi. He reasoned that with a windmill, he could study late into the night rather than sleeping early.

Apparently, Malawi as a nation lacked the resources to generate electricity from various means.
