Explanation
The correct option is To separate solid waste from liquid effluent. To separate solid waste from liquid effluent is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to interpret information about waste water treatment processes.

Misunderstanding Waste Water Treatment Steps
Students often confuse the stages of waste water treatment, thinking that all processes happen simultaneously rather than sequentially.
