SBI PO Model Test Paper with Answers

Directions(Q.1-10):

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given elow it. !ertain words have

een printed in old to help you locate the" while answering so"e of the questions.

#ccording to the $nited %tates &nviron"ental 'rotection #gency ($%&'#) plastic ags are a etter

option than paper ags fro" the environ"ents point of view. *any studies co"paring plastic versus

paper show that plastic ags have less net environ"ental effect than paper ags requiring less

energy for transport production and recycling and ecause of all these plastic generates less

greenhouse gases. +hey cause less air and water pollution and can get co"pressed to a s"all si,e in

landfills. 'lastic ags are sterile and thus are a etter option for the transportation of eatales and

"edicines.

owever there is another side of using plastic. 'lastics are "anu-factured fro" petroleu". +his rings

a host of other issues e.g. destruction of haitat. +heir "anufacturing invo-lves che"icals "any of

which have not een sufficiently tested for their toicological i"pact on hu"ans and ani"als.

&acerating the prole" is that science has only advanced to detect plastic co"ponents in hu"an

odies and then lin/ it to hu"an ail"ents and diseases.

here science has een unale to help is that it has largely failed to invent a solution to the ha,ards

caused y it. *a/ing the situation dis"al is the fact that the ha,ard is closer than it appears. +eflon

'! 'olyethylene polysty-rene in utensils and various silicones in hair and ody care products

accu"ulate in the ody and lead to serious diseases.

'lastic producing co"panies are often che"ical co"-panies or susidiaries of che"ical co"panies

oth with poor trac/ records when it co"es to their adherence to regulatory co"pliance and their

willingness to perfor" toi-cological analysis on the products that they "a/e.

'lastics often drain co"ponent che"icals including ha,ardous che"icals when te"perature changes

eyond a certain point.

2t is for this reason that toicologists do not reco""end storing very cold food in plastics or heating

food ("icrowa-ving especially) in plastics. #lso plastics are durale "aterials. +hus they are hard to

eli"inate once used and create tre"endous waste. hile so"e co""on plastics can e recycled the

vast "a3ority cannot e recycled.

%cientists suggest the use of 4io-degradale plastics as an alternative to this persisting prole".

+hese are the plastics that can deco"pose in the natural environ"ent. 4iodegra-dation of plastics can

e achieved y enaling "icroorganis"s in the environ"ent to "etaoli,e the "olecular structure of

plastic fil"s to produce an inert hu"us-li/e "aterial that is less har"ful to the environ-"ent. +hey

"ay e co"posed of either io-plastics which are plastics whose co"ponents are derived fro"

renewale raw "aterials or petroleu"-ased plastics. +he use of io-active co"pounds co"pounded

with swelling agents ensures that when co"ined with heat and "oisture they epand the plastics

"olecular structure and allow the io-active co"pounds to "etaolise and neutrali,e the plastic.

arious countries have een adopting different "ethods to discourage the use of plastic. 5rowing

awareness in the $6 of the prole"s caused y indiscri"inate use of plastic ags is encouraging

retailers to reward custo"ers who ring their own ags or who reuse or recycle eisting ags. +his is

producing adverse effect in ody
