Read the following passage carefully:
In an effort to mitigate municipal plastic waste, the Metropolitan Environment Board mandated that all commercial food outlets replace single-use plastic containers with certified biodegradable packaging by January 2025. Establishments that completed the transition prior to October 2024 were awarded a 15% reduction in their annual municipal waste processing fee. Official compliance reports revealed that every registered food outlet in the city successfully completed the packaging transition by September 2024.
Based strictly on the information provided in the passage, which of the following logical conclusions MUST be true?
- AThe transition to biodegradable packaging completely eliminated plastic waste across all residential sectors of the city.
- BCommercial food outlets agreed to the packaging transition because biodegradable containers are less expensive than plastic containers.
- Every registered food outlet in the city qualified for the 15% reduction in its annual municipal waste processing fee.Cevap
- DA portion of registered food outlets failed to adopt biodegradable packaging prior to the January 2025 deadline.
Cevap
Every registered food outlet in the city qualified for the 15% reduction in its annual municipal waste processing fee.
The passage establishes that completing the packaging transition prior to October 2024 grants a 15% waste processing fee reduction. Since official reports confirm that every registered food outlet completed the transition by September 2024 (which is before October 2024), it is logically necessary that all registered outlets qualified for the reduction.
