Question 18 • TX-English III

Which piece of data would best be incorporated into a report about plastic waste in the world’s water?

Answer

Businesses are producing over 300 tons of plastic every year, and half is for single-use purposes.

The United Nations estimates there are as many as 51 trillion microplastic particles in the ocean already.

PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a plastic with three carbon chains that is very durable and hard to break down.

People need to understand the different types of pollution that impact the environment and their deadly effects.

Explanation

The report is specifically about plastic waste in the world’s water, so the strongest evidence directly describes plastic pollution in the ocean. Choice B gives an estimate of 51 trillion microplastic particles already in the ocean. The other choices discuss plastic production, a material’s properties, or pollution in general rather than the amount of plastic in water.
