(1 point) the author has negative feelings about edible cutlery. the author has uncertain feelings about edible cutlery. the author has neutral feelings about edible cutlery. the author has positive feelings about edible cutlery

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze the author's tone. The title "Edible Cutlery Sees Way Out of Plastic Pollution" and the context of plastic pollution being a problem suggest the author views edible cutlery as a positive solution. The first option is negative, the second is uncertain, the third is neutral—none fit. The last option (The author has positive feelings about edible cutlery) aligns with framing edible cutlery as a way to address plastic pollution.

The title and context (plastic pollution as a problem, edible cutlery as a "way out") imply the author views edible cutlery positively. Other options (negative, uncertain, neutral) don't match the framing of edible cutlery as a solution to plastic pollution.

Answer:

The author has positive feelings about edible cutlery.
