Explain:
The following statements are about the harmful effects of plastic bags on the environment, EXCEPT ______ .
A. Aquatic animals can die from eating plastic bags by mistake.
B. Humans don’t live long enough to test whether plastic bags are degradable.
C. Once used, plastic bags contaminate soil, water and air.

Information:
+ About 100,000 animals, such as dolphins, turtles, whales, penguins are killed every year due to these bags. Many animals ingest plastic bags, mistaking them for food, and therefore, die. (About 100,000 animals, such as dolphins, turtles, whales, and falcons are killed each year because of these bags. Many animals ingest plastic bags, mistake them for food, and thus, die. .)
→ A is correct
Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up littering the environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets. And, if they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes. (Once they are used, most bags end up in landfill. Every year, more and more bags end up in the environment. Once they become trash, the plastic bags find their way onto the roads. our waterways, parks, beaches and streets. And, if they burn, they release toxic fumes into the air.)
→ C is correct
+ One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable. The decomposition takes about 400 years. (One of the worst environmental impacts is that they are non-biodegradable. Decomposition takes about 400 years.)
