Which would be a complicating factor for this argument about ways to recycle? A) If the reader lived in a third world country B) If the reader worked for a recycling company C) If the reader were an environmental scientist D) If the reader were the president of the environmental club

here is the passage
Creative Recycling

Bethany Miller

1 Most people are familiar with recycling on a very fundamental level. Many individuals separate cans, glass bottles, newspapers, cardboard, plastics, and junk mail and haul it off to the recycling center or place it in a bin at the curb for pick-up. This method of recycling is a necessary and important element in protecting the environment. However, many individuals do not consider the impact that other daily activities have on conservation and the environment; there are numerous ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle that take just a bit of creativity and a little extra initiative.

2Not everything can be packed up and shipped to the recycling center, but numerous items can be given new life simply by reconsidering their function. Consider reusing the plastic bags you receive from grocery or other stores. These bags can be utilized for many different purposes, including lining trash bins or picking up waste from pets. However, it is an environmentally conscientious idea to switch to cloth bags anyway to prevent contributing more refuse to landfills. Additionally, many stores now offer discounts to shoppers who bring in their own reusable bags, which can be an ingenious way to save money and help the environment at the same time.

3 Reducing consumption of natural resources is another important consideration. This can be achieved by simply turning off a light when leaving a room, taking shorter showers, turning off the water when teeth brushing, and unplugging chargers for electronic devices such as cell phones or MP3 players when they are not in use. These devices use a great deal of electricity, even when they are not being utilized; one helpful tip is to plug all chargers into one power strip, and simply flip the switch to turn off the electricity when the chargers are not being used.

Answer:

A) If the reader lived in a third world country is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, the discard method can be useful.

Letter B is incorrect because it would be easier for the person if he or she worked for a recycling company to separate and take the trash to the place it will be recycled.

C is also incorrect because if the case were like that, the environmental scientist would be aware of the impact of not recycling and he would be also aware of how to do it.

D is also incorrect because being the president of an environmental club would turn things easier since the person would be able to know methods to recycle and he could also spread them through the club and generate a bigger impact.

On the other hand, A is correct since recycling is not a main issue in third world countries, the use of reusable bags is not widespread and stores don't offer discounts for bringing bags to avoid plastic ones.
