The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "In addition to SO₂, metals and textiles are damaged by", we will analyze the options provided and determine which one is correct based on the information about acid rain and its effects. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks for a substance that, in addition to sulfur dioxide (SO₂), causes damage to metals and textiles. 2. **Identify the Options**: The options given are: - A) Nitrogen oxides - B) Fluorides - C) Carbon monoxide - D) Aldehydes 3. **Recall the Effects of SO₂**: Sulfur dioxide is known to contribute to acid rain when it reacts with other compounds in the atmosphere. 4. **Consider the Role of Nitrogen Oxides**: Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are known to react with sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere. When SO₂ and NOx are present, they can lead to the formation of acid rain, which is harmful to various materials, including metals and textiles. 5. **Evaluate Other Options**: - **Fluorides**: There is no significant evidence that fluorides contribute to acid rain or damage metals and textiles in the same way. - **Carbon Monoxide**: While carbon monoxide is a pollutant, it does not directly contribute to acid rain or cause damage to metals and textiles. - **Aldehydes**: Similar to carbon monoxide, aldehydes do not play a significant role in the formation of acid rain. 6. **Conclusion**: The only option that correctly identifies a substance that, in addition to SO₂, causes damage to metals and textiles through the formation of acid rain is **A) Nitrogen oxides**. ### Final Answer: **A) Nitrogen oxides** ---
