Read the given passage and answer the question that follows. Plastic is extremely harmful for the earth and the environment. Plastic that we use eventually ends up in landfills and it takes hundreds of years to biodegrade. This plastic stays on the earth and pollutes land and oceans. There is a dire need to eliminate the use of plastic and to reduce and recycle the plastic that already exists in the landfills. Which of the following argument could be made from the above passage? Correct Answer Plastic is an environmental hazard. The correct answer is option 1. Plastic is an environmental hazard. From the given passage, we can understand that plastic pollutes the environment and we need to eliminate its use. Since there is a dire need to eliminate it, argument 1 labels it as an environmental hazard which supports the stand taken by the passage. The other arguments either present a vague attribute of plastic or oppose the reasoning given in the passage. Hence, option 1 is the right answer.
