Use the scenario to answer the question.

Edwin buys a water bottle, reuses it twice, and then recycles it. Eleanor buys a water bottle, reuses it twelve times, and then throws it away.
Which energy cost would apply to Edwin, but not to Eleanor?

The energy cost of recycling the water bottle would apply to Edwin, but not to Eleanor. Edwin recycled his water bottle after reusing it twice, while Eleanor threw hers away after reusing it twelve times.

what is the answer?

A the cost of processing the bottle after it was no longer used.
B the cost of the original bottle
C the cost of transporting the bottle away from the house
D the cost of transporting the bottle to the store

The correct answer is A) the cost of processing the bottle after it was no longer used. Edwin recycled his water bottle, so he would incur the energy cost of processing the bottle for recycling. Eleanor threw her water bottle away, so she would not incur this energy cost.
