X. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: [1x3=3]

Plastic has slowly become an integral part of all human requirements. Plastic carry bags,
packaging material, bottles, cups, and various other items have slowly replaced
everything made of other material due to the advantages of plastic.
Plastic is durable, easy to produce, lightweight, unbreakable, odourless, and chemical
resistant. But plastic does not decompose. This is its biggest drawback.
To overcome the growing problem of plastic waste disposal in India, the technology of
using plastic for road construction has been developed by Prof Rajagopalan Vasudevan,
Professor of Chemistry at Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai. The
Government of India has ordered in November 2015 that it is mandatory for all road
developers in the country to use waste plastic for road construction. The entire process
is very simple. This road construction process is extremely eco-friendly, with no toxic
gases being released.
The advantages of using waste plastics for road construction are many. The process is
easy and does not need any new machinery. Plastic waste helps increase the strength of
the road. These roads have better resistance towards rain water and cold weather. Since
a large amount of plastic waste is required for a small stretch of road, the amount of
waste plastic strewn around will definitely reduce.
