T4W9 TS Q34 – Selective High School

Every year, thousands of water bottles are thrown away in schools, contributing to plastic waste. Less than 20% of students bring reusable water bottles. If schools encouraged more students to use reusable bottles, the amount of plastic waste from water bottles could be significantly reduced.

Which of the following is the best statement of the flaw in the argument above?

It assumes that reusable water bottles will completely eliminate plastic waste. It overlooks the possibility that some students may lose or damage their reusable bottles. It ignores the fact that other forms of plastic waste might still contribute to the total waste in schools. It implies that the amount of plastic waste is directly related to the lack of reusable water bottles.

Are you sure you want to leave?
