Read the following passage about fast fashion and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 17 to 24. The phrase fast fashion describes the trendiest clothes available at the lowest prices. The prices are low because the stores want their customers to return very soon - maybe even the next week to buy more of the newest fashions. Some of these fast fashion stores display new clothes weekly or even twice a week! In the traditional fashion industry, new styles come out four times a year. This schedule follows the four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. In the fast fashion industry, a new "season" happens every month or so. Fast fashion makes a lot of money because there are more selling seasons within one year. One important reason why fast fashion is less expensive than traditional fashion is that the quality is worse. A trendy shirt from a fast fashion store doesn't need to last for years because it won't be stylish next season. Trendy clothes usually won't last because the materials used to make them are cheap and not as good quality. For example, in a fast fashion store, you are more likely to find a sweater made of acrylic, a synthetic material, than wool. Some people think fast fashion is good because it means they can buy stylish clothes at low prices. Others disagree. They think that fast fashion creates a lot of waste. Since the early 2000s, when the fast fashion trend started, the production of clothes has doubled. Now people are buying more clothes, and are wearing them for shorter amounts of time. Finally, clothing manufacturing can be bad for the environment. Producing many materials, even natural ones such as cotton, requires huge amounts of water. Making synthetic materials can involve oil and other chemicals. And dyes used to color clothes are also a source of pollution. (Adapted from Explore New Worlds) Question 17.
