Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Have you ever questioned where all single-use plastics you discarded have gone? In the landfills or somewhere in the ocean, or maybe
both? Admit it or not, we all contribute to plastic pollution across the globe with our everyday products. Governments around the world have
responded to this crisis by implementing deposit return schemes (DRS) as viable option for plastic waste treatment.
In a DRS, an additional deposit fee is applied when consumers buy a drink in a single-use container. The deposit is used for recycling
and can be redeemed when customers return empty containers to a recycling centre. The procedure can be conducted at a “reverse vending machine”,
where people can produce their bottles and receive their cash back. The scheme is expected to be officially introduced to the public in 2025 in
England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
DRS is a key environmental policy that encourages recycling and reduces waste. Consumers are more likely to return their empty bottles
and cans if they know they will get their deposit back rather than throwing them away. This reduces the amount of waste that goes to landfills and
helps to conserve natural resources.
Moreover, DRS can save money for local governments and taxpayers by reducing waste that needs to be collected and processed. This
can save money on waste management and disposal costs, which can ultimately benefit taxpayers. International examples have shown that current
recycling rates for drinks containers in the UK sit at around 70%, and the number is expected to increase to 85% when the scheme is launched. DRS
is a simple and effective way to address the plastic waste crisis. DRS can positively impact the environment and local economies by recycling and reducing waste.

D. DRS allows customers to take some money back when they return empty plastic containers.
Question 29. In paragraph three, what does the word “them” refer to?
A. natural resources conservation B. landfills C. empty bottles and cans D. consumers
Question 30. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
