Question
Read the passage below and determine which of the
following statements can be correctly inferred from the text. Passage: The global transition toward plant-based synthetic fibers is accelerating, fueled by the textile industry’s push for "circular fashion" and a reduction in carbon footprints. These bio-synthetic materials typically utilize agricultural byproducts, offering a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based polyesters. However, traditional oil-exporting nations are concerned about the shrinking market for petrochemicals used in synthetic fabrics. Simultaneously, nations with large agricultural sectors are considering heavy subsidies for their farmers to dominate the supply of bio-feedstock, while clothing manufacturers fear that high tariffs on imported raw fibers could disrupt their international supply chains. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? I. Using plant-based synthetic fibers can help lower the carbon footprint of the textile industry compared to using petroleum-based products. II. Oil-exporting nations are indifferent to the shift toward plant-based fibers in the clothing industry. III. Some nations may implement economic strategies, such as subsidies or tariffs, to influence the trade of raw fibers.Solution
Statement I (True): This mirrors your "recycling reduces energy consumption" logic. The passage states that plant-based fibers are part of a push for "a reduction in carbon footprints" and offer a "sustainable alternative" to petroleum-based polyesters. This directly supports the inference that they can lower the industry's carbon footprint. Statement II (False): This mirrors your "mining-dependent countries are unaffected" logic. The text explicitly mentions that traditional oil-exporting nations "are concerned about the shrinking market." Concern indicates they are not indifferent; they are negatively impacted. Statement III (True): This mirrors your "protectionist policies to secure scrap" logic. The passage notes that nations are "considering heavy subsidies" and manufacturers fear "high tariffs." Both subsidies and tariffs are economic strategies used to influence trade.
