Hi. Can someone check my answer?
A factory wants to build a big tank to store chemicals. The tank would be near a river. Which of the following is a possible result of building the chemical tank?
A)
The chemicals from the facility will positively effect on the environment.
B)
The chemicals will pollute the river and harm the organisms in it. ****
C)
The chemicals will pollute the river and benefit the organisms in it.
D)
The chemicals will increase the oxygen supply in the atmosphere.
100 % correct. My students at MIT and Maine Maritime did a project on this subject.
You are welcome.
Damon way better then ms. sue
She either says: yup or wrong or Dont post this again! Its from a test or quiz
Thank you, yet again!
To determine the correct answer, we need to evaluate the potential effects of building a chemical tank near a river. In this case, it's important to consider the nature of the chemicals that will be stored and the potential risks they may pose to the environment.
Option B states that the chemicals will pollute the river and harm the organisms in it. This is a plausible consequence because if the tank or its contents were to leak or be mishandled, it could result in the release of harmful chemicals into the river, thereby endangering the organisms living in it.
Options A, C, and D are not likely outcomes. Option A suggests that the chemicals would have a positive effect on the environment, which is unlikely given their potentially hazardous nature. Option C implies that the chemicals could somehow benefit the organisms in the river, which is highly improbable. Option D suggests that the tank would increase the oxygen supply in the atmosphere, which is unrelated to storing chemicals near a river.
Considering these factors, the correct answer is B) The chemicals will pollute the river and harm the organisms in it.
