Choice D is the best answer. The prepositional phrase “for example” 
logically connects the two sentences and correctly indicates that what 
follows in the second sentence will be examples of household waste 
products: paper, glass, aluminum, and garbage.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they don’t indicate the 
true relationship between the two sentences. “Regardless” (choice A) 
means in spite of something, “however” (choice B) indicates a contrast, 
and “furthermore” (choice C) means in addition. None of these 
transitions indicates that an example will follow.
QUESTION 2
Choice B is the best answer. The verb “eliminate” means to remove
and it makes the most sense in the sentence because the object of the 
verb is “need.” “Eliminating the need” is an idiomatic expression for 
“removing the need.”
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Although all the choices mean “to 
get rid of,” their connotations are different. “Annihilating” (choice A) 
is usually used to refer to the act of completely destroying, which is 
too intense in this context. “Ousting” (choice C) is generally used 
when referring to the act of forcibly removing a person from a position. 
“Closing the door on” (choice D) is a colloquial expression that usually 
means shutting out the possibility of something happening or not 
being willing to consider an idea. This expression doesn’t fit the tone 
of the passage and is not idiomatic when used with “need.”
QUESTION 3
Choice C is the best answer. The singular present tense verb 
“increases” agrees in number with the singular noun “compost” and 
maintains the parallel structure of the other two compound verbs in the 
sentence, “minimizes” and “helps.”
Choices A and D are incorrect because the use of the pronoun “it” 
(choice A) and “also it” (choice D) to begin new independent clauses 
creates comma splices. Choice B is incorrect because “savings 
increase” doesn’t maintain the parallel structure of the verbs in the 
sentence: “minimizes water waste and storm runoff” and “helps 
reduce erosion.”
