Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (UK)
"Garbage" and "trash" are largely AmE words that BrE speakers understand. "Rubbish" and "junk" are used in BrE. "Junk" is usually not used in BrE to refer to normal rubbish that we throw away but to describe something that is worthless.
