Answer 2

The incorrect statement about plastic is (a) It is used to make compost.

• Plastics are made of non-biodegradable polymers like polyethylene.
• When buried in soil, the microorganisms take hundreds of years to decompose plastics.
• Plastic wastes like bottles, bags, and wrappers when burnt produce a highly toxic gas Carbon Monoxide (CO).
• In a compost pit, biodegradable wastes like vegetable peels and paper are added. These can be easily broken down by microorganisms in the soil and are then converted into manure.
