It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that _________
A. Oil is replaced by other alternative energy sources in the production of plastic bags.
B. Petroleum products such as plastic bags are cheaper than ever.
C. petroleum is indispensable in most of the activities of the modern world.
D. plastic bags are wasted on many of life’s energy needs.
Information:
+ 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? (And to make plastic, about 60-100 million barrels of oil are needed every year around the world. Surely, this precious resource shouldn’t be wasted on producing plastic bags, right?)
→ A is wrong
+ Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we have used this non-renewable resource increasingly. (Petroleum products are decreasing and getting more and more expensive as we use this non-renewable resource more and more.)
→ B is wrong
+ 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. (Petroleum is very important to our modern way of life. It is essential for energy requirements – for factories, transportation, heating, lighting, and the like. Otherwise. If there is no viable alternative energy source in the world, if the supply of petroleum is exhausted, it will lead to practically the entire world coming to a halt.)
→ C is correct
→ Choose the answer C
