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 questions.

Green living is a means of developing sustainable habits in one’s daily life so that their daily routines work alongside the resources of nature instead of depleting them, or doing more long-term damage to the environment or ecological system. The common ways that people often do when they become more cognizant of the vital aspects to green living are to reduce pollution, to protect our wildlife from going extinct, and to preserve our conservation of natural resources. Predominantly, people recognize that green living can alleviate the rapidly increasing rates of climate change and global warming.

The idea of green living has grown a lot in recent years. While we often think of reusable grocery bags and recycling, green living also includes our clothing choices through sustainable fashion.

The fast-fashion industry focuses on cheap, trendy clothes that don't last long. This has a big negative impact on the environment, from using too much water and harmful chemicals to creating huge amounts of waste. Sustainable fashion offers a better option by reducing environmental damage and ensuring fair working conditions.

To embrace sustainable fashion, we need to change how we think. Instead of buying lots of clothes for short trends, we should invest in high-quality pieces that last a long time. This helps reduce waste and allows us to have a unique personal style.

Buying second-hand clothes is another great way to practice sustainable fashion. Thrift stores and consignment shops have many unique items, giving clothes a second chance and helping the environment. It can be fun to find special pieces while shopping.

In which paragraph does the writer mention people’s recognition of the fact that green living can alleviate the rapidly increasing rates of climate change?

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 questions.

[I] Psychologists identify four basic stages that people experience when adapting to a new culture. [II] This process helps us cope with culture shock and how our minds and personalities respond to unfamiliar situations. [III] For example, if we are used to bowing when greeting someone, we might feel awkward in a culture that does not bow. [IV]

The first stage is the "honeymoon stage." When we first arrive in a new culture, everything seems exciting and strange. Even if we feel tired from travel, we enjoy exploring new sights, sounds, and foods. This stage can last a long time because it feels like an adventure.

The second stage can be tough. After settling into our new lives-working, studying, or living with a host family-we may start to miss home and our loved ones. Small problems can feel more significant in a foreign culture. This "rejection stage" can lead some people to develop unhealthy habits or feel confused and helpless. Some might consider going back home or only spending time with people from their own culture.

The third stage is called the "adjustment stage." Here, we begin to see that the new culture isn't so bad. We start to handle challenges better and feel more capable of taking care of ourselves.

The fourth stage is "at ease at last." By now, we feel comfortable in the new environment and can manage most problems. We might still struggle with the language, but we know we can handle it. If we meet newcomers from our home country, we can share our experiences and help them.

Finally, there's a fifth stage known as "reverse culture shock." This happens when we return to our home culture and realize that both we and our surroundings have changed. This can make us feel awkward and struggle to adjust back to life at home.
