Question

The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage.
Promoting increased plastic recycling is comparable to trying to stop a collapsing skyscraper by hammering a nail. It's a futile effort to find recycling centers and feel a sense of accomplishment when we manage to recycle, yet it fails to tackle the root cause: the rampant production of single-use plastics. These items, like grocery bags used for mere minutes but enduring for hundreds of years in our ecosystems, illustrate a profound misuse of technology. The real solution lies in eliminating the production of single-use plastics altogether, rather than relying on insufficient recycling efforts to address a problem that should never have been created in the first place.

• D. It requires more government regulation to be effective in saving the Earth.
