Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The passage describes a circular economy model in fashion and uses several blank spaces that correspond to key concepts. To understand the sentence flow, consider what word would best complete each blank.

25. The phrase 'protect the environment without lowering ___' suggests a term that captures value, performance, or viability that could be sacrificed in pursuit of environmental protection. A plausible fit is 'sustainability' or 'sustainability standards'—these convey keeping environmental goals without sacrificing economic or social viability. Other options like 'quality' or 'production volume' would distort the idea of protecting the environment without lowering something essential to the business.

26. 'Improvements in ___ can reduce waste and protect the environment' calls for a measurable area where gains translate into waste reduction. Common candidates include 'efficiency,' 'resource efficiency,' 'process efficiency,' or 'design efficiency.' Each of these focuses on using fewer resources per unit of output, thus reducing waste and environmental impact. If we choose something like 'cost' or 'speed,' the environmental benefit would be misaligned with the phrase.

27. 'Introducing ___ for recycling, reselling and sharing allows consumers to reuse the same clothes' requires a term that encapsulates organized mechanisms or systems that enable reuse. 'Incentives,' 'programs,' 'systems,' or 'platforms' would all fit, with 'incentives' emphasizing motivation for participation and 'platforms' emphasizing the technological or logistical means. The idea is to create structural opportunities for reuse.

28. 'The ___ of unprocessed resources, therefore, falls' points to a measurable phenomenon that decreases when recycling and reuse rise. 'Consumption' or 'extraction' of unprocessed resources typically decreases in a circular model; 'production' might also fit, but 'consumption' directly reflects ongoing usage that reduces raw material draw.

29. 'The fashion industry can be ___ while remaining profitable' completes with a word indicating moral or ethical alignment without sacrificing profitability. Here, the intended term is 'ethical'—the sentence argues that ethical practices can coexist with profitability through better design, responsible sourcing, and circular business models. Other candidates like 'sustainable,' 'innovative,' or 'competitive' are plausible in other contexts, but the prompt specifically uses 'ethical practices' as the driver for industry behavior. Given the surrounding emphasis on ethical practices and cooperation among decision-makers, 'ethical' is the most coherent fit for the final blank.

In sum, the provided answer for Question 29 is 'ethical,' which aligns with the overall theme that a circular fashion economy aims to protect the environment and social well-being while maintaining profitability. The other plausible fills for the blanks correspond to closely related concepts (sustainability, efficiency, incentives/platforms, consumption) but would slightly shift the emphasis or meaning of the sentences, whereas 'ethical' preserves the stated goal of combining ethical practices with profitability.
