One variety of partially biodegradable plastic beverage container is manufactured from small bits of plastic bound together by a degradable bonding agent such as cornstarch. Since only the bonding agent degrades, leaving the small bits of plastic, no less plastic refuse per container is produced when such containers are discarded than when comparable nonbiodegradable containers are discarded.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?
Both partially biodegradable and nonbiodegradable plastic beverage containers can be crushed completely flat by refuse compactors.
The partially biodegradable plastic beverage containers are made with more plastic than comparable nonbiodegradable ones in order to compensate for the weakening effect of the bonding agents.
Many consumers are ecology-minded and prefer to buy a product sold in the partially biodegradable plastic beverage containers rather than in nonbiodegradable containers, even if the price is higher.
The manufacturing process for the partially biodegradable plastic beverage containers results in less plastic waste than the manufacturing process for nonbiodegradable plastic beverage containers.
Technological problems with recycling currently prevent the reuse as food or beverage containers of the plastic from either type of plastic beverage container.
因:部分生物降解的只降解粘合剂,留下小块塑料
果:被遗弃的时候,部分生物降解容器产出的塑料垃圾不比非生物降解的少,即部分生物降解产生的塑料垃圾多,问加强
思路:小块塑料比非降解完整的塑料量多,或二者在某塑料垃圾方面区别,注意原文中refuse n.废物、垃圾
A 都能被压扁,无关
B Correct.部分降解用了更多的塑料
C 消费者偏好,无关
D 生产过程中部分生物降解产生更少的塑料废物,削弱
E 没提到生物非生物降解,无关
