Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions
Plastic bags are used by everybody. From a vegetable vendor to a designer store, everyone seems to
use them. Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to be unable to do without,
they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the Earth.
But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the repercussions that are occurring and will take place in the
future because of the plastic bags.
Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing
plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases, with little lasting effect. Plastic bags are very popular
with both retailers as well as consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a
hygienic means of carrying food as well as other goods. About a hundred billion plastic bags are used every
year in the U.S. alone. And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations of India, China,
Europe, and other parts of the world, the numbers can be staggering. The problem is further exacerbated by
the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries like India.

Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up
littering the environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks,
beaches, and streets. And, if they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes. About 100,000 animals,
such as dolphins, turtles, whales, penguins are killed every year due to these bags. Many animals ingest
plastic bags, mistaking them for food, and therefore, die. And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact
even after the death and decomposition of the animal. Thus, it lies around in the landscape where another
victim may ingest it. One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable. The
decomposition takes about 400 years. No one will live so long to witness the decomposition of plastic!
Thus, save the environment for the future generations as well as animals.
Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we have used this
nonrenewable resource increasingly. And to make plastic, about 60-100 million barrels of oil are needed
every year around the world. Surely, this precious resource should not be wasted on producing plastic bags,
should it? Petroleum is vital for our modern way of life. It is necessary for our energy requirements - for our
factories, transportation, heating, lighting, and so on. Without viable alternative sources of energy yet on the
horizon, if the supply of petroleum were to be turned off, it would lead to practically the entire world
grinding to a halt. So, what can be done? A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and
the shopping. You can keep the big with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual
plastic bag. Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea. These can come into use for various
purposes, like holding your garbage, instead of purchasing new ones. While governments may be working
out ways to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment; however, each of us should shoulder some
of the responsibility for this problem, which ultimately harms us. Plastics are not only non-biodegradable,
but are one of the major pollutants of the sea. For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives to
plastic whenever and wherever possible. Cut down your use of plastic, and do your bit to save our planet.

In our modern world, we're facing a significant issue with too much electronic waste. Consider all the
gadgets we use every day, like phones, computers, and kitchen appliances. When they're no longer useful,
they often end up as trash.

steps. Companies should make gadgets that last longer and are easier to recycle. We should also try to buy
fewer new gadgets and reuse what we have. And it's important to recycle old electronics properly instead of
simply throwing them away.
Everyone, from regular people to big companies and governments, needs to work together on this. By being
