2. Insecticide motor oil paints are poured down the drain
3. Tea leaves cotton swabs and old soft toys are thrown into the drain

Answer 1

In the given situations, the following things happen:

1. If cooking oil is allowed to trickle down a drain, it will clog soil pores or obstruct pipelines.
2. If pesticides, motor oil, or paints are dumped down the drain, the bacteria that filter wastewater passing via drains may be killed.
3. Tea leaves, cotton swabs, and old soft toys, if tossed down the drain, can block the pipelines, preventing water from flowing through the pipes and wreaking chaos.
