Question

Q1.Read the passage carefully and answer the questions following it.
Garbage is a great environment hazard. It comes from various sources—used
paper, tiffin packing, plastic bags, ice-cream wrappers, bottle caps, fallen
leaves from trees and many more. Garbage makes the premises ugly,
unkempt and breeds diseases. A lot of trash that is thrown away contains
material that can be recycled and reused such as paper, metals and glass
which can be sent to the nearest recycling Centre or disposed of to the junk
dealer. It also contains organic matter such as leaves which can enrich soil
fertility. A compost pit can be made at a convenient location where the refuse
can be placed with layers of soil and an occasional sprinkling of water. This
would help decomposition to make valuable fertilizer. This would also prevent
pollution that is usually caused by burning such organic waste.
