Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.

Fast fashion is inexpensive clothing which is produced rapidly in response to the latest trend. It is estimated

that 100 billion items of clothing are made every year. This number is expected to grow by 60 percent by

2030. However, the downside of this fashion industry is its negative impact on the environment. First of all,

the production of textiles requires a lot of water. For example, it takes about 2,000 gallons of water to

produce one pair of jeans. This water is often polluted with poisonous chemicals which are used in the

dyeing and finishing process. The manufacturing process also produces a lot of air pollution which is caused

by the burning of fossil fuels to power factories and the release of chemicals into the air. Moreover, fast

fashion creates a vast amount of waste. Many of the clothes that are produced are not worn very often, and

are thrown away after a few wears. Clothing and textiles currently make up at least 7% of the total amount of

waste in global landfill space. Only 15 percent of them are recycled or donated, 19 percent are burnt, and the

rest ends up in landfills.

Question 31. In what way does the fashion industry cause water pollution?

A. It pollutes the water with toxic dyes.

C. It uses lots of fossil fuels.

B. It uses a lot of water to make clothing items.
