Question

which statement is a good description of plastic? (1 point)
it is a synthetic material that comes from natural resources.
it is a natural material made from natural resources.
it is a natural material that is made from synthetic resources.
it is a synthetic material that does not come from natural resources.

Explanation:

Plastic is a synthetic material. It is made from natural resources like petroleum through chemical processes. So, the statement “It is a synthetic material that comes from natural resources” is correct. The second option is wrong as plastic is synthetic not natural. The third option is wrong as it's made from natural resources not synthetic ones. The fourth option is wrong as it does come from natural resources (even though processed synthetically).

Answer:

It is a synthetic material that comes from natural resources.
