Q-10)   Statement:
“Beware! Recycled coloured plastic bags contain harmful colour pigments, which, on coming in contact with food particles, make food unfit for consumption, resulting in severe food poison, allergies and in extreme cases even death.”
—A scientist

I. Non-biodegradability nature makes plastic bags an environmental hazard.
II. Use of plastic bags is harmful and has cascading effects on human life.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Non-biodegradable nature of plastic bag can’t be correlated with the statement because the statement does not say whether plastic is biodegradable or nonbiodegradable.

Hence, I is not implicit. But II is obviously implicit. That is why the scientist uses the word ‘Beware’ in his statement before asserting the negative features of plastic bags.
