Question
In the question given below, a passage is given
followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. Passage: Microplastics are tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimetres long. They originate from various sources, including cosmetic products, synthetic clothing fibres, and the breakdown of larger plastic waste. Recent studies have detected microplastics in oceans, rivers, soil, and even the air. Scientists warn that the concentration of microplastics in marine ecosystems has risen sharply over the last decade. Marine animals often ingest these particles, mistaking them for food, which can lead to long-term health issues and disruptions in the food chain. Statements : I. Microplastics pose a threat to marine animals. II. Microplastics are present only in water bodies such as oceans and rivers. III. The increasing amount of plastic waste in the environment contributes to the rise in microplastic levels.Solution
Statement I can be inferred. The passage clearly states that marine animals ingest microplastics and this can cause health problems and disrupt the food chain. Statement II cannot be inferred. The passage explicitly states microplastics are found in oceans, rivers, soil, and even the air. So they are not limited to water bodies. Statement III can be inferred. The passage mentions microplastics also come from the breakdown of larger plastic waste, meaning more plastic waste leads to more microplastics. Thus, the correct combination is I and III → Option C.
