Question

Assertion :Plastic grocery bags do not block drains during rains. Reason: Plastics are lighter than water and hence float over water.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
• D. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Plastic takes several years to decompose hence we can say that plastic is a non-biodegradable material. So when we use such plastics they get to accumulate on the earth. As the accumulation of plastic increases, they can block the drains during rain hence the $\text{assertion is incorrect.}$

All plastics are not lighter than water some plastics are heavier than water. So $\text{reason is also incorrect.}$

Option $D$ is correct.
