III. Car tyres
How many of them contain plastic?
- A.Only one
- B.Only two
- C.All the three
- D.None
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: C. All the three
Cigarette butts contain cellulose acetate, a type of plastic, which makes them a significant source of plastic pollution. Eyeglass lenses are commonly made from plastics like polycarbonate or high-index plastics, chosen for their durability and optical properties. Car tyres are manufactured using synthetic rubber, which is a polymer, and often incorporate other plasticizers and reinforcing agents that contribute to their plastic content.
