answer 2 most likely, though there are other sources of plastics.
It depends, plastic is recyclable - it is a matter of opinion really. It is sustainable if the plastic is based on a non-fossil organic product such as corn instead of petroleum products.
Silicone is not a product of petro-chemistry.
made of plastic and metal

To make a synthetic plastic, plastic pellets are melted and then poured into a mold. The mold forms the product, and then the product is cooled and the mold opened.

yes. Plastic is a petroleum product and petroleum is a non-renewable resource
Plastic is a petroleum product, and as such, is nonrenewable even though it is recyclable.
No, it is a petroleum (oil) product. Also, many plastic items are now made from recycled plastic.

Yes, you can bring a plastic fork on a plane in your carry-on luggage.

One pound of plastic is equivalent to around 3.2 pounds of petroleum, as petroleum is a primary component used in the production of plastic.
Less manufacturing of plastic would save petroleum because the production of plastic relies on petroleum-based chemicals as raw materials. By reducing plastic production, less petroleum would be needed to extract and produce these chemicals, leading to a conservation of petroleum resources.
No, a plastic fork is not alive. Plastic is a synthetic material made from polymers and does not possess any living characteristics.
Plastic is mainly made of crude oil, which is a petroleum-based product. Silicone is a separate material used for different purposes, and corn starch is not typically a primary component of plastic production.
A plastic fork typically weighs around 3-4 grams.
