Which country suffered a blackout as its energy crisis continues?

• A. Cuba
• B. Haiti
• C. Venezuela
• D. Egypt

Answer: (A)

This focuses on recognizing a country where power shortages are ongoing and result in regular blackouts as part of a continuing energy crisis. Cuba fits this pattern: persistent fuel shortages and an aging, overextended power grid mean there isn’t enough generation to meet demand. When fuel runs low, authorities implement rolling blackouts to ration the limited electricity, so outages become a continual feature rather than a rare, isolated incident. This ongoing struggle with keeping the lights on is what people describe as Cuba’s continuing energy crisis.

Other countries have faced outages too, but in different contexts. Haiti often endures unreliable grid conditions due to broader infrastructure challenges, but the situation is not typically framed around a sustained national blackout cycle tied to an energy crisis. Venezuela has experienced severe outages tied to political and economic turmoil, and Egypt has faced shortages in the past but has worked toward stabilizing supply with new capacity.
