3.

A. False

Explanation

The statement claims that all Americans are aware of environmental issues. This is a generalization and cannot be true for every single American. It is highly unlikely that every single person in a diverse country like the United States is aware of environmental issues. Awareness levels vary among individuals and can be influenced by factors such as education, personal interests, and exposure to information. Therefore, the statement is false.

____________________ contributes to pollution.

Correct Answer
Car Emissions

Explanation
Car emissions contribute to pollution because when cars burn fossil fuels, such as gasoline or diesel, they release harmful pollutants into the air. These pollutants include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which can have detrimental effects on both human health and the environment. Car emissions are a significant source of air pollution, especially in densely populated areas with high traffic volumes. To mitigate this pollution, efforts are being made to promote electric vehicles and improve fuel efficiency standards for cars.
