Household waste in the U.S. generally increases by how much over the holidays?

Correct! The answer is c.

Over the holiday season, consumers flock to malls, department stores and outlets to search for that perfect gift, that one card that says it all, that tree to end all trees. But as we feast, give gifts, decorate and travel, we also consume lots of resources and generate lots of waste. A recent report noted that the amount of household garbage in the United States generally increases by 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, from 4 million tons to 5 million tons.
