Question

Which of the following statements about solid-waste recycling is false? A) It’s less expensive for customers to separate their trash before pickup than to use high-technology recovery plants. B) Glass, iron, and aluminum can be recovered from solid wastes. C) Low-tech resource recovery involves customers separating trash into categories like glass, paper, plastics, and metal. D) High-technology recycling provides many more jobs than low-technology recycling. E) Materials-recovery facilities need a large input of garbage to be financially successful.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) High-technology recycling provides many more jobs than low-technology recycling

Explanation:

High technology means that less labor is required for manual tasks. All manual tasks would be catered through technology which means that a lower number of labor would be required.

Therefore the statement that high-technology recycling provides many more jobs than low-technology recycling is false because it actually takes away jobs rather than providing jobs.

I hope the answer is helpful.
