Question

One group of students uses different methods to conserve water as listed below.

Method 1: Close dripping faucets properly and fix leaking ones immediately. Method 2: Use the dishwasher when it is fully loaded.
Method 3: Wash the car with recycled water.
Method 4: Wash hands in a sink half full of water, and do not let the tap run.

Which of these methods does not use any extra water?

a. Method 2 and Method 3
b. Method 1 and Method 3
c. Method 2 and Method 4
d. Method 1 and Method 2

Answer 1

The best answer is b) Method 1 and Method 3

Method 2, which is part of every other options, does involve using extra water because the dishwasher will necessarily use extra water, even if it is full when you use it. 
On the other hand, fixing leaky faucets requires no extra water and the recycled water used to wash your car has already been used.
