Identify the inferences drawn from the passage:

  • A.A lot has already been done for sustainability in past 25 years and is enough for the environment.
  • B.Voluntary efforts alone cannot address climate change and other major challenges facing society and the government needs to step in to force companies to pay for their negative impact on the planet.
  • C.Fashion industry is doing its best and is providing a lot of fashion at cheap price, non-biodegradable petroleum-based synthetics have helped us achieve this.
  • D.The demand for apparels has grown manifold in the last 25 years and will continue to grow in future.

Answer: B

The passage says that the experiments of 25 years have failed to lessen the planetary impact, and calls it a loud wake-up call for those who hope that voluntary efforts can successfully address climate change and other challenges. The inference is that voluntary efforts alone are not enough, so the government has to act, which is option B. The second part about making companies pay is the setter's inference from this, and it goes a little beyond the text. Option A says the opposite, that enough has been done, option C says the industry is doing its best, which the passage does not say, and option D is about demand growth, which the passage mentions only as one contributor. The answer is option B.
