The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the paragraph and the options provided regarding the man-made material referred to as "X." ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Material X**: - The paragraph states that X is a man-made material that is integral to our lives but causes land pollution. It also mentions that it takes up to 400 years to decompose. - Based on these characteristics, we can conclude that X refers to plastic. 2. **Understand the Properties of Plastic**: - Plastic is indeed a non-biodegradable material, meaning it does not decompose naturally in the environment within a short period. It can take hundreds of years to break down. 3. **Evaluate the Options**: - The question asks which option is incorrect regarding plastic (X). We need to analyze each option carefully. - **Option 1**: "The gases formed during burning of X are highly poisonous." - This is true; burning plastic releases toxic gases. - **Option 2**: "The disposal of X objects down the drains can cause their clogging." - This is also true; plastic waste can clog sewage systems. - **Option 3**: "We should recycle bags made of X but they should not be used for keeping food." - This is true; recycling is encouraged, and plastic bags are not safe for food storage. - **Option 4**: "X can be recycled by methods involving redworms." - This statement is incorrect. Plastic is non-biodegradable and cannot be recycled through microbial decomposition methods like those involving redworms, which are used for organic waste. 4. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect option regarding X (plastic) is the one stating that it can be recycled by methods involving redworms. ### Final Answer: The incorrect option regarding X is: "X can be recycled by methods involving redworms."
