2. Pesticides
3. Medicines

C. Explanation

Some substances are useful because they are used for food, for cooking, and cleaning purposes,
for destroying harmful insects and for keeping us healthy. Certain substances or materials have
harmful effects on people, animals and plants when not used properly. Chemicals are very
useful to people. We use them daily. Soaps and detergents are good cleaning agents and
antiseptics. They kill germs and bacteria that can cause diseases.

Chemical substances like medicines, vitamins, and minerals are very helpful. Medicines help
people fight diseases. Vitamins and minerals help people animals get strong and healthy.
Fertilizer makes soil rich for the plants so they will grow will. Helpful chemical substances can
have harmful effects on living things too. Medicines not taken in proper dosage can have
harmful effects. Some drugs like cough wine or alcohol, and coffee. They cause addiction.
Addiction leads to bad behavior, mental disorder, and oftentimes death. Fertilizers are helpful
but could kill if too much of them is applied to plants. Pesticides help us rid of harmful insects.
However, they can poison plants and animals that are also helpful.
