Beware! Recycled coloured plastic bags contain harmful colour pigments, which on coming in contact with food particles, make food unfit for consumption, resulting in severe food poisoning, allergies and in extreme cases even death. – A scientist.

Assumptions:

i. The non-biodegradable nature makes plastic bags an environmental hazard.
ii. Use of recycled coloured plastic bags is harmful and has cascading effects on human life.

Which of the following assumptions is/are implicit in the above statement?

Question

Beware! Recycled coloured plastic bags contain harmful colour pigments, which on coming in contact with food particles, make food unfit for consumption, resulting in severe food poisoning, allergies and in extreme cases even death. – A scientist.

Assumptions:

i. The non-biodegradable nature makes plastic bags an environmental hazard.
ii. Use of recycled coloured plastic bags is harmful and has cascading effects on human life.

Which of the following assumptions is/are implicit in the above statement?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The statement warns about the harmful effects of recycled coloured plastic bags on food safety, mentioning severe health risks.

2. Assumption (i) relates to the non-biodegradable nature of plastic bags causing environmental harm. However, the statement does not mention anything about biodegradability or environmental impact, so this assumption is not necessarily implied.

3. Assumption (ii) states that using recycled coloured plastic bags is harmful and has serious consequences on human health. This aligns directly with the warning given by the scientist, making this assumption clearly implicit.

4. Therefore, only assumption (ii) is implicit in the statement.

**Answer:** Only (ii)
