Question

1. how does the organization of paragraph 2 contribute to the text? a. it describes how the recycling plan works. b. it presents arguments to support a new recycling plan. c. it compares recycling with other means of reducing waste. d. it details the disadvantages of the recycling plan

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If the paragraph explains the mechanics of the recycling plan (e.g., steps, processes), this fits.
• Option B: “Presents arguments for a new plan” implies persuasion, but the question is about how the paragraph’s organization contributes—likely not argumentation.
• Option C: “Compares recycling with other methods” would involve contrasting, but the question is about the plan’s organization, not cross - method comparison.
• Option D: “Details disadvantages” focuses on negatives, but the question is about organizational contribution, not critiquing the plan.

Assuming the paragraph’s structure is explanatory (e.g., outlining how the recycling plan operates), A is correct.

Answer:

A. It describes how the recycling plan works.
