1. The correct answer is option b) economic impact. Unlike Passage 1, Passage 2 focuses primarily on recycling’s economic impact.

But the popularity 5 of recycling is even more surprising considering the incon veniences associated with it. Who hasn’t experienced the annoyance of trying to satisfy complicated rules about what can and cannot be recycled? Glass jars–but not their tops? Plastics number 1 and 2-but not number 37 Still there is 10 no sign that the public is becoming impatient, so convinced are people of the virtues of recycling

   Passage 2

   Mandatory recycling programs aren’t good for posterity. They offer mainly short-term benefits to a few groups like politicians and waste-handling corporations-while diverting money from genuine social and problems. Recycling programs actually consume resources. They require extra administrators and a continual public relations campaign explaining what to do with dozens of different products-recycle milk jugs but not milk cartons, 20 index cards but not construction paper. Collecting a ton of recyclable items is three times more expensive than collect ing a ton of garbage because crews pick up less material at each stop. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in the modern United States: a waste of time and money. 25 a waste of human and natural resources.
