Question 2

If you dump kitchen waste in a pit, it may, after sometime

(a) convert into compost

(b) convert into vermicompost

(c) remain as such

(d) remain forever in its dried form

Answer 1

Option (a) is the correct answer.

The process of converting organic materials including plant waste, animal waste, kitchen waste etc. into manure is called composting. Kitchen waste is biodegradable and can be decomposed by microorganisms into compost. At the same time, vermicomposting is the method of preparing compost with the help of redworms. In the given case, since it is telling about just dumping in a pit and nothing about redworms, option (a) is the correct answer.
