Circular economy passage - Assumptions
Question
With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made : I. Automobile factories are examples of the circular economy. II. Economic growth is compatible with circular use of mineral resources.
- 1.
Automobile factories are examples of the circular economy.
- 2.
Economic growth is compatible with circular use of mineral resources.
Options
I only
II only
Both I and II
Neither I nor II
Explanation
Statement I is factually unsupported; the passage says batteries should go back to factories for recovery, implying this circular loop is an ideal future action, not that current automobile factories already serve as prime examples of it. Statement II is a valid assumption; the author's argument that "reusing materials makes sense" to overcome pricey, complicated supply chains inherently assumes that circular use supports and sustains economic viability (growth).
Answer: (b).
