Britain is a country in Europe and has serious environmental problem. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in

situation improved a lot.

B. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to each of the question.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday promote mindless consumption, excessive packaging and shipping waste,
especially with the rise of online shopping. The sales produce massive waste not just from the unwanted single-use
plastic and cardboard packaging, but also from the return of unwanted items. This mindset also ensures that the earth
overshoot day keeps moving back.
This is especially true of the clothing industry, where much of the online returns are tossed into the landfill
because the logistics and cost of putting the item back on the shelf are much too complicated. Britons throw away
approximately 300,000 tonnes of clothes every year and many of them are only worn a handful of times.
The negative impact of Black Friday is also significant from non-recyclable, mostly plastic toys, to e-waste, to
fast fashion that is only used for one season. In fact, in France, the government is considering banning Black Friday
due to the impact on the planet and the promotion of unsustainable consumption habits.

Question 26. The passage mainly _____________.

A. explains why Black Friday sales are bad for the environment

C. criticizes the unwanted single-use plastic and cardboard packaging

A. drop B. improvement C. increase D. fall

A. People carefully put the online returns on the shelf.
B. People resend the online returns to the logistics agent.
C. People have to pay more for the online returns.
