How much straws are made of plastic

English
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It is estimated that about 500 million plastic straws are manufactured each day in the USA.

Explanation:

Lately, a lot has been said about the use and inappropriate disposal of plastic straws. This is because straws are used frequently and in large quantities, but because they are completely disposable, they end up being inadvertently discarded and contribute to plastic pollution in nature.

Estimate that about 500 million platinum straws are produced each day in the USA. However, straws are not the big villains of pollution, as they only represent 0.025% of the plastic that is discarded in the ocean.

pogonyaev

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

When independent clauses are joined incorrectly (with improper punctuation or conjunction), we have what is called a run-on sentence. An independent clause is a group of words that can stay alone as a sentence, which means it offers information that makes sense without the help of another sentence.

A sentence fragment is basically an incomplete sentence. That means it is a phrase that is missing a key element, such as a verb or a subject, or a phrase that is dependent on a main clause but has been detached from it through wrong punctuation.

The sentence "After falling to the warm, damp forest floor, plants decay and release nutrients" is complete, and the punctuation is used appropriately. It might look confusing at first since the main clause came after the subordinate one. If we invert the clauses, we'll see there is no problem with the sentence - note that a comma will disappear now that the main clause comes first:

Plants decay and release nutrients after falling to the warm, damp forest floor.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

B. There were not enough firefighters to do all the necessary tasks.

Explanation:

We can tell from the first sentence that there was not enough help. Even without knowing any background on the story, we know there was just a thin circle of engines around the fire. In order to deprive the fuel of fire, the firefighters asked spectators to help by chopping up fences and sidewalks. This way the fire fighters could focus on the engines.
