City Councilor Statement: The majority of urban flooding in Centerville is caused by improper disposal of waste, which clogs the city's drainage systems during heavy rainfalls. As most of this waste comes from disposable plastic products, the city proposes to ban the use of all single-use plastics. By implementing this ban, we believe that we will significantly reduce urban flooding incidents.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim that the proposal, if carried out, will have the announced effect?
(A) Centerville's waste management system efficiently processes non-plastic materials, which rarely contribute to drainage blockages. (Not relevant as non plastic material rarely contributing to blockages)
(B) The disposal of single-use plastics in Centerville consumes more resources and energy than any other type of disposable products, thus if single-use plastics are banned, the city would have multiple benefits. (Out of scope , other benefits are not our concern)
(C) Cities that have banned single-use plastics have observed significant reductions in landfill waste and improvements in overall environmental quality.( Out of scope, what happened in other cities do not matter for the strengthening of Canterville Plan)
(D) The cost of cleaning the city's drainage systems after floods is significantly higher than the projected costs of enforcing the plastic ban. (Costs are out of scope)
(E) On days following heavy rainfall, the majority of debris removed from Centerville’s drainage systems is identified as single-use plastic. (If majority of debris after flood is identified as single use plastic, then definitely plan of banning single use plastic will work. This is strengthening the argument)

(A) Centerville's waste management system efficiently processes non-plastic materials, which rarely contribute to drainage blockages.We are concerned with single use plasticproducts hence out of scope.
(B) The disposal of single-use plastics in Centerville consumes more resources and energy than any other type of disposable products, thus if single-use plastics are banned, the city would have multiple benefits.We are not concerned with multiple benefits, we want support for the claim that by banning single use plastics urban floodingincidents can be reduced.
(C) Cities that have banned single-use plastics have observed significant reductions in landfill waste and improvements in overall environmental quality.We are not concern with other cities and environment qualitiy
(D) The cost of cleaning the city's drainage systems after floods is significantly higher than the projected costs of enforcing the plastic ban.Cost is not at issue here.
(E) On days following heavy rainfall, the majority of debris removed from Centerville’s drainage systems is identified as single-use plastic.CORRECT.As the majority of debris removed from Centerville’s drainage systems is identified as single-use plastic, by banning it,flooding incidents can be reduced.

Claim : Implementing the ban on single-use plastics will significantly reduce urban flooding incidents.
To determine if this claim is warrented, we need to know if single use plastics make up a significant portion of the disposable plastic products ( which clog the drains)
A - Does not address the above point.
We can infer that plastic materials contribute significantly (which is already stated in the passage). But nothing on single use plastics
B - Does not address the above point.
Other benefits of banning single use plastic are irrelevent.
C - Does not address the above point.
The use and disposal of single use plastic varies from city to city. Irrelevant.
D - Does not address the above point.
Irrelevent.
E - Directly addresses the above point. Strengthens.
It answers the question - Yes. Single use plastic does make up a significant portion of the disposable plastics.
OPTION E
