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
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 27. In what way does the fashion industry cause water pollution?
A. It pollutes the water with toxic dyes. B. It uses a lot of water to make clothing items.
C. It uses lots of fossil fuels. D. It creates waste in landfill space.
Question 28. What percentage of clothing is collected for reuse and recycling?
A. 7 % B. 15 % C. 19 % D. 60 %
Question 29. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Fast fashion is a new trend in the fashion industry. B. Fast fashion has a negative impact on the
environment.
C. Fast fashion is expensive clothing. D. Fast fashion helps save water.

Question 31. What is one of the negative impacts of fast fashion?
A. Enhanced creativity B. Creation of a lot of waste
C. Reduced product prices D. Increased job opportunities
