Q.E-waste is responsible for the degradation of our environment if not properly treated or disposed of. Some of the feasible methods of e-waste management are reduce, _____ and recycle. (A) Reuse (B) Recheck (C) Resubmit (D) Regular

The key idea is the 3R principle of waste management — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — which applies directly to e-waste.

The question lists two of the three Rs: "reduce" and "recycle". The missing middle step is "reuse", which involves extending the life of electronic devices by repairin …

The concept here is the waste management hierarchy, often called the "3Rs" — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. This is a standard principle taught in environmental science and waste management, especially for e-waste (electronic waste). The idea is simple: first, try to reduce the amount of waste you create; second, find ways to use items again (reuse) instead of throwing them away; and third, recycle materials that can no longer be used. The order matters — reducing is best, reusing is next best, and recycling is the last resort before disposal.

The question gives you "reduce" and "recycle", so the missing middle step is clearly "reuse". Let's check the options:

1. Option (A) Reuse — This fits perfectly. It's the second R in the 3Rs framework. For e-waste, this could mean donating working electronics, repairing them, or selling them second-hand instead of discarding them.
2. Option (B) Recheck — This is not a standard term in waste management. While checking e-waste before disposal is sensible, it's not part of the formal 3Rs hierarchy.
3. Option (C) Resubmit — This doesn't apply to waste management at all. It's a term used in forms or submissions, not in handling materials. …
