Praxis 5005 Practice Question
Recycling will best benefit the environment by minimizing which THREE of the following?
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: Recycling significantly reduces the consumption of raw materials (A) by reprocessing existing materials, thus conserving natural resources. It also minimizes the amount of materials in landfills (C), as recycling diverts waste that would otherwise contribute to landfill overflow. Additionally, recycling decreases the need for incineration (B), which can release harmful emissions, by reducing the volume of waste that requires disposal through burning.
Option D, the reuse of materials in new products, is a positive aspect of recycling but does not directly minimize environmental impact in the same way as the other three options.
