Questions 24-27
Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C.

  • 24. According to Zoe, plastic bottles
  • 25. According to Zoe, it is possible to recycle
  • 26. Having to wash plastic before recycling it
  • 27. In the UK, HDPE bottles are more common

The answer is B. According to the script, Zoe states, "A good example of that is plastic bottles, which are heavier than most other plastics and therefore relatively easy to handle and sort." This means that (B) is correct because plastic bottles weigh more than other types of plastic, as mentioned directly by Zoe. Options (A) and (C) are incorrect; she does not say they lack an end market or are time-consuming to sort.

Associated Text:
A good example of that is plastic bottles, which are heavier than most other plastics and therefore relatively easy to handle and sort.

The answer is B. Zoe states in the script, "While it is technically possible to recycle most plastics, the complexity and cost of doing so has prevented this happening in the past." This clearly supports that most types of plastic can be recycled, making (B) the best choice. She does not say some or all types only—she specifically says most.

Associated Text:
While it is technically possible to recycle most plastics, the complexity and cost of doing so has prevented this happening in the past.

The answer is A. Zoe says, "Yes, and it also uses water, so then you have to balance the water usage against the resources saved by recycling the plastic." This shows that having to wash the plastic before recycling it reduces the environmental benefit because water is used, so environmental gain may be offset by water consumption.

Associated Text:
Yes, and it also uses water, so then you have to balance the water usage against the resources saved by recycling the plastic.

The answer is C. Zoe says, "By the way, the UK has a much higher use of HDPE bottles than most countries as we use them to contain milk rather than glass bottles." This means the UK uses more HDPE bottles than other countries, which supports option (C).

Associated Text:
By the way, the UK has a much higher use of HDPE bottles than most countries as we use them to contain milk rather than glass bottles.

Questions 28-32
Complete the table below.

Write NO MORE THAN ONE WORD for each answer.
Plastics used in Bottles
Name Use
PET Fizzy (28) and squash
HDPE (29) and detergent
PP (30)
PVC Large (31) bottles
Plastic lids Previously, had to be (32) from the bottles

The answer is drinks. Zoe explains that PET bottles are used for fizzy drinks and squash bottles. The table lists “fizzy ____ and squash,” so 'drinks' completes the phrase correctly.

Associated Text:
First, there are PET bottles and they are used for fizzy drinks and squash bottles.

The answer is milk. Zoe states, "HDPE, as I said, is used for milk and also detergent bottles." The table asks for the use of HDPE bottles, and 'milk' fits in that blank.

Associated Text:
HDPE, as I said, is used for milk and also detergent bottles.

The answer is ketchup. Zoe says, “PP bottles are the kind that you can buy ketchup in.” Therefore, 'ketchup' is the intended answer for the use of PP bottles.

Associated Text:
PP bottles are the kind that you can buy ketchup in.

The answer is juice. Zoe tells us, "there is PVC, which is used to make the large juice bottles." Thus 'juice' is the correct answer to fill in the blank about the use of PVC in bottles.

Associated Text:
there is PVC, which is used to make the large juice bottles.

The answer is separated. Zoe says, "Until recently, consumers were advised to remove lids from their plastic bottles. However, most recycling plants will now take the bottles and will separate the lids." Here, 'separated' fits the requirement for what had to be done to plastic lids previously.

Associated Text:
Until recently, consumers were advised to remove lids from their plastic bottles. However, most recycling plants will now take the bottles and will separate the lids.
