UGC NET 2018 Paper 1 Question Paper (8-Jul-2018)
The correct answer is

Plastic

To solve the question, we need to determine which item is different from the rest based on the given options: Jute, Plastic, Paper, and Wool.

Let's analyze each option:

  1. Jute: Jute is a natural fiber obtained from the jute plant. It is biodegradable and used for making various products like bags, ropes, and mats.
  2. Plastic: Plastic is a synthetic material made from polymers. It is not biodegradable and is widely used for manufacturing various products, including packaging materials, containers, and more.
  3. Paper: Paper is made from wood pulp and is a natural product. It is biodegradable and recyclable, commonly used for writing, printing, and packaging.
  4. Wool: Wool is a natural fiber obtained from sheep and other animals. It is used for making textiles and is biodegradable.

In this context, the key difference lies in whether the material is natural and biodegradable.

  • Jute, Paper, and Wool are all natural and biodegradable materials.
  • Plastic, however, is a synthetic and non-biodegradable material.

Thus, the option that is different from the others is Plastic, as it does not share the natural and biodegradable properties of the other items.

Conclusion: The correct answer is Plastic because it is a synthetic, non-biodegradable material, unlike Jute, Paper, and Wool, which are natural and biodegradable.
