Residents of an apartment complex are considering two possible plans for collecting recyclable trash.
Plan 1 - Residents will deposit recyclable trash in municipal dumpsters located in the parking lot. The trash will be collected on the first and the fifteenth days of each month.
Plan 2 - Residents will be given individual containers for recyclable trash. The containers will be placed at the curb twice a week for trash collection.
Which of the following points raised at a meeting of the residents, if valid, would most favor one of the recycling plans over the other?
(A) Residents will be required to exercise care in separating recyclable trash from nonrecyclable trash.
(B) For trash recycling to be successful, residents must separate recyclable bottles and cans from recyclable paper products.
(C) Penalties will be levied against residents who fail to sort their trash correctly.
(D) Individual recycling containers will need to be made of a strong and durable material
(E) Recyclable trash that is allowed to accumulate for two weeks will attract rodents.

Which one is better in between C and E. please explain your reasonings also.

C is better

finesa17 · 2009 October 20th, 11:56 PM

IMO E ; in this case option 2 is preferred over option 1

E is Correct.

Mahendra700 · 2009 October 21st, 04:20 AM

IMO C is the answer as it is supporting/favour the plan 2 over the Plan 1.
Inorder to collect the penalties from the residents who fail to sort..I guess Plan 2 is best.

Please post the OA.

I would go with E. It is clear that Plan 1 has longer pick up time than Plan 2. The effectiveness of the plan here, seems to be determined from how effective the pickup times are. Since two weeks is enough to attract rodents, it is not a good approach to have two weeks pick up time. So plan 2 is better.

The main argument mentions the pickup times specifically and not how taxes are levied. E is a more compelling criteria to choose one over the other.

What's the answer?

E it should be ..

IMO C is better

aras82 · 2009 October 21st, 08:37 AM

IMO E

In C, in both the scenarios residents have to sort their trash, so how could one method is better than other?

Has to be E. C is irrelevant. What has sorting got to do with anything here
