Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: B – D – A – C
Explanation
• B introduces the central theme of the passage: the global emergence of the 'Zero Waste lifestyle'. Therefore, it is the opening sentence.
• D logically follows B as the pronoun it directly refers to the Zero Waste lifestyle, explaining why people adopt it.
• A elaborates on the actions of the people following this movement ('Practitioners') by stating the core methods: refusing, reducing, reusing, and recycling.
• C concludes the paragraph by highlighting the outcome of 'This approach', which is a significant reduction in landfill waste.
Quick Tip: Look for noun-pronoun pairs. Here, the lifestyle introduced in B links directly to the pronoun it in D, and the practitioners in A link to the outcome of this approach in C.
