Explanation:

Analyze questions 1, 2, and 3

• Question 1 asks how the graphic shows the division of the infographic into two sections. The options describe visual elements. Option B ("It divides the spread into two with a vertical broken line") is a standard layout feature for two-section spreads.
• Question 2 asks for the main message. The options focus on the clothing industry and waste. Option D ("People must demand that the clothing industry creates less waste") represents a typical call-to-action message for environmental infographics.
• Question 3 asks about the definition of 'fast fashion' suggested by the poster. Fast fashion is characterized by clothes made for current trends to be used briefly, cheap materials, and high waste. Therefore, Option D ("All of the above") is the most comprehensive and correct choice.

Analyze questions 4, 5, and 6

• Question 4 asks for the percentage of clothes purchased each year in Europe that become waste. Based on standard environmental data regarding textile waste in Europe, approximately 75% of textiles end up in landfills or incinerators. Thus, Option D ("75%") is the correct choice.
• Question 5 asks what the infographic wants clothing to be made from. Sustainable fashion advocates for circularity. Option A ("Recycled textiles and natural fibres") represents the ideal sustainable materials.
• Question 6 asks for the main topic of the infographic. The questions focus on waste, recycling, fast fashion, and circularity in the clothing industry. Option B ("Moving beyond circular fashion in the clothing industry") best captures this overarching theme.
