Q2. Which one of the following statements best reflects the crux of the passage?
Detailed Solution
The passage begins by highlighting the rarity of municipal waste segregation at source in India. It then explicitly states that for waste-to-energy, it 'Ideally it fits in the chain after segregation (between wet waste and rest), collection, recycling, and before getting to the landfill.' This clearly positions segregation as a foundational and initial step for the effective functioning of waste-to-energy processes.
Options A and D are not supported by the passage, as it doesn't discuss cost or inadequacy. Option B is an overstatement; biomethanation is called a 'major solution,' not the 'most ideal way.' The central theme revolves around the critical importance of segregation.
