Answer Choice A
I'm confused why answer choice A is correct. I eliminated it because it states that a product can't be made out of plastic recycled entirely from the currently lowest commercial grade. However, the passage only states that there just any application for such a low grade plastic material. So, doesn't that just mean that a product COULD be made from that low grade recycled material, there just wouldn't be any use for it?
Am I just reading too much into this?

Thanks for the question! Definitely a good thing to notice, but it’s a bit too much overthinking here. First of all, you should’ve definitely kept (A) at first and looked at the other answer choices, which would’ve allowed you to eliminate them, since (A) is clearly the best answer choice here out of the bunch. Here’s the other thing: a product is (kind of by definition) something that you make that is an application. A product itself is applying the plastic to some kind of use (which is making the product). And so the last sentence of the stimulus still applies to answer choice (A). Because “no applications have been found” is basically saying “there’s no way to use it,” and if you could make products out of it, that would be a use for it. So (A) is still the most supported here, and the correct answer.
