From 1978 to 1988, beverage containers accounted for a steadily decreasing percentage of the total weight of household garbage in the United States. The increasingly widespread practice of recycling aluminum and glass was responsible for most of this decline. However, although aluminum recycling was more widely practiced in this period than glass recycling, it was found that the weight of glass bottles in household garbage declined by a greater percentage than the weight of aluminum cans.
Which of the following, if true of the United States in the period 1978 to 1988, most helps to account for the finding?
Glass bottles are significantly heavier than aluminum cans of comparable size.
Recycled aluminum cans were almost all beverage containers, but a significant fraction of the recycled glass bottles had contained products other than beverages.
Manufacturers replaced many glass bottles, but few aluminum cans, with plastic containers.
The total weight of glass bottles purchased by households increased at a slightly faster rate than the total weight of aluminum cans.
In many areas, glass bottles had to be sorted by color of the glass before being recycled, whereas aluminum cans required no sorting.
a为什么不对啊
我觉得是 相比之下A更好 A中 虽然glass比al重 但是有可能由于al回收的太多,减少的重量比glass减少的更大 但是C中就完全说明了 many glass 都被替换了,基本没有al被换掉,所以glass的占比更大的下降了
嗯嗯,好像懂了
