Question

question 17
what is the meaning of \ubiquitous\ as it is used in paragraph 21?
a. ultimate
b. unexpected
c. unique
d. universal

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "ubiquitous", we analyze the context. The text says plastics and polymers "can be formulated in ways that meet a wide range of specific structural and aesthetic requirements" and "can also be produced from recycled and organically derived materials". This suggests they are widely applicable. "Ultimate" means final, "unexpected" means surprising, "unique" means one - of - a - kind, and "universal" means widespread or existing everywhere. So "ubiquitous" here means universal.

Answer:

D. universal
