Raw materials reuse & circular economy - message
Question
Which one of the following statements best reflects the most logical, rational and pragmatic message conveyed by the passage?
Options
Green economy is not possible without reusing critical minerals.
Every sector of economy should adapt the reuse of material resources immediately.
Circular economy can be beneficial for sustainable growth.
Circular use of material resources is the only option for some industries for their survival.
Explanation
The passage outlines the massive scale of resource consumption, supply chain vulnerabilities, and low reuse rates before concluding simply: "Reusing materials makes sense." This is a pragmatic endorsement of the circular economy (recovering ingredients for new use) as a beneficial solution to supply risks. Options (a), (b), and (d) introduce extreme absolutes ("not possible", "Every sector... immediately", "only option") that stretch far beyond the author's measured tone.
Answer: (c).
