Practice Listening: Select Missing Word ID: #41081 Short The Hydro Pulper
Instructions ›
You will see a video about the recycling process of paper. At the end of the recording the last word or group of words has been replaced by a beep. Select the correct option to complete the recording.

Transcript:

The process of recycling paper begins in a huge vat called a hydro pulper, which operates much the same way as a kitchen blender. The Hydro Pulper has a blade that agitates a mixture of paper and water, beating the paper's tightly woven woody fibres literally to a pulp. Detergents may be added to the pulp to dissolve any printing inks, water then flushes the inks away. The pulp next passes through huge screens that filter out materials such as staples, paper clips, or dirt. At this point, the recycled pulp can be processed much like (the original pulp).

Option 4: "the original pulp"

Explanation: This option is correct as the text states that the recycled pulp can be processed much like 'the original pulp.' This directly connects to the main idea of the recycling process, indicating that the recycled material retains similar properties to the original.

Option 1: "other products"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text specifically refers to the recycled pulp being processed much like 'the original pulp.' The phrase 'other products' does not align with the context of the recycling process described.

Option 2: "trees"

Explanation: This option is incorrect as it does not relate to the recycling process mentioned in the text. The text focuses on the transformation of paper into pulp, not on trees, which are the source of paper.

Option 3: "biodegradable plastics"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention biodegradable plastics. The focus is on recycling paper and processing it into pulp, not on plastics.
