Question 3 (1 point)
Which statement accurately describes the use of renewable resources in the creation of paper cups, plastic bottles, and aluminum cups?
a
Paper cups, plastic bottles, and aluminum cups are all made from nonrenewable resources.
b
Paper cups, plastic bottles, and aluminum cups are all made from a combination of renewable and nonrenewable resources.
c
The paper cup and the aluminum cup are made from renewable resources, while the plastic bottle is made from a nonrenewable resource.
d
The plastic bottle and the aluminum cup are made from renewable resources, while the paper cup is made from a nonrenewable resource.
you tell me
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response.
The correct answer to question 2 is:
c. the paper cup, because it is the only container that comes from a renewable resource.
And the correct answer to question 3 is:
b. Paper cups, plastic bottles, and aluminum cups are all made from a combination of renewable and nonrenewable resources.
Paper cups are made from renewable resources such as wood pulp from trees, while plastic bottles are made from nonrenewable resources such as petroleum. Aluminum cups are made from a combination of renewable and nonrenewable resources, as they require both bauxite ore (a nonrenewable resource) and electricity (which can come from both renewable and nonrenewable sources) in their production process.
