Solution

The jumbled words have been arranged in proper order below.

(a) Coal is obtained from mines

Coal can be extracted from the earth either by surface mining or underground mining. Once coal has been extracted, it can be used directly (for heating and industrial processes) or to fuel power plants for electricity.

(b) Petroleum is a fossil fuel.

It is a clear, oily liquid, usually green or black in colour. The petroleum is separated from the crude oil by a series of processes in a refinery. This is known as petroleum refining.

(c) Refinery is a place where various fractions of petroleum are separated.

Petroleum refining processes are the chemical engineering processes and other facilities used in petroleum refineries (also referred to as oil refineries) to transform crude oil into useful products, such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

(d) Kerosene is a fuel used in jet crafts.

Kerosene has the highest calorific value of all and is thus used in a jet aeroplane as an aviation fuel.

(e) Sunlight is an example of inexhaustible natural resources.

Resources whose quantity doesn’t depend on consumption or which don’t fall to scarcity are known as inexhaustible natural resources. The quantity of sunlight and air doesn’t depend on human consumption. That’s why these are inexhaustible natural resources.
