Read the following passage about fast fashion and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

Your favorite $20 shirt hides a startling secret. “When I learned that it takes 2,700 liters of water to produce a single cotton t-shirt, I couldn’t look at my wardrobe the same way,” reveals Sarah Martinez, a former fast-fashion enthusiast turned sustainable style advocate. Her discovery mirrors a growing consciousness among consumers about the fashion industry’s environmental impact.

The facts are alarming. The global fashion industry’s carbon footprint surpasses that of international flights and maritime shipping combined. Industry analysts point to a ‘throwaway culture’ where people buy clothes they don’t keep for long. Their research indicates that while clothing production doubled between 2000 and 2015, the average number of times a garment gets worn decreased by 36%. These ephemeral fashion choices accumulate in landfills, where synthetic materials persevere for up to two centuries before decomposing.

Thankfully, there are innovative solutions bringing hope. One of them is ‘circular fashion’: under this model, garments are designed for longevity and biodegradability. ‘Clothing libraries’ have also multiplied across urban centers, where members can borrow high-quality clothes instead of purchasing new ones. This system has become so efficacious that participating consumers report a 70% reduction in new clothing purchases.

The secondhand market is undergoing its own revolution, driven by tech startups’ smart recycling initiatives. Modern sorting facilities harness artificial intelligence to identify fabric types, dramatically streamlining the recycling process. This has slashed the cost of recycled textiles by 45% since 2020, prompting major fashion brands to integrate recycled materials into their production lines. Industry experts now envision a future where sustainable practices become the norm rather than the exception, reshaping the very foundation of fashion consumption.
