Renewable Resources — Unit test

Question 14 • DRHS GA-GSE Environmental Science

Zoe read that drinking water from a faucet instead of from a plastic bottle helps overcome a disadvantage of using nonrenewable resources. Which conclusion is best supported by this information?

Answer
A
Water can be used up and cannot be replaced.
B
Plastic is made from petroleum oil.
C
Making plastics is inexpensive.
D
The water in faucets in healthier.

Explanation

Plastic bottles are made from plastic, which is commonly produced from petroleum oil, a nonrenewable resource. Choosing faucet water instead of bottled water can therefore reduce the use of petroleum to make bottles. The information does not suggest that water itself is nonrenewable or that faucet water is healthier.
