OG 11th-53

53.One variety of partially biodegradable plastic beverage container is manufactured from small bits of plastic bound together by a degradable bounding agent such as cornstarch. Since only the bonding agent degrads,leaving the small bits of plastic, no less plastic refuse per container is produced when such containers are discarded than when comparable nonbiodegradable containers are discarded.

Which of following, if ture, most strengthens the argument above?

(A)Both partially biodegradable and nonbiodegradable plastic beverage containers can be crushed completely flat by refuse compactors.

(B) The partially  biodegradable plastic beverage containers are made with more plastic than comparable nonbiodegradable ones in order to compensate for the weaking effect of bonding agents.

(C)Many consumers are ecology-minded and prefer to buy a product sold in partially biodegradable plastic beverage containers rather than in nonbiodegradable containers , even if the price is higher.

(D) The manufacturing process for partially biodegradable plastic beverage containers  results in less plastic waste than the manufacturing process for nonbiodegradable plastic beverage containers

(E)Technological problems with recycling currently prevent the refuse as food or beverage containers of the plastic from either type of plastic beverage container.

Ans:B

不太懂，為何是B呢?

謝謝!!

partially biodegradable plastic beverage（1）与 container nonbiodegradable containers（1） 比较no less plastic refuse per container。

strengthens the argument ：找出一个能反映1比2 plastic refuse多的项。
