Explanation:

Analyze Questions 7 and 8

• Question 7 asks about the purpose of placing two diagrams side-by-side in the infographic. Comparing a current wasteful system with a sustainable/circular one is the standard purpose of side-by-side infographic layouts. Thus, option B is correct.
• Question 8 asks what the infographic is encouraging fashion companies to do. Sustainable fashion infographics advocate for reducing production and using resources wisely. Thus, option D is correct.

Analyze Questions 9 and 10

• Question 9 asks about the graphics for STEP 2: DESIGN (left section). In the context of social media and modern design, liking clothing on social media platforms creating high demand is a standard modern design/marketing implication. Thus, option C is correct.
• Question 10 asks about STEP 3: PRODUCTION (left section) regarding a negative effect of demand for fast fashion. Fast fashion production often involves poor working conditions, suggesting that people making these clothes could be unsafe. Thus, option D is correct.

Analyze Questions 11 and 12

• Question 11 asks what the phrase 'beyond circular' implies. A circular economy focuses on recycling, so going "beyond circular" implies doing more than just recycling. Thus, option A is correct.
• Question 12 asks how the thread line on each side of the infographic supports the clothing cycle idea. The thread lines represent the flow: one side shows a top-to-bottom wasteful process (make to throw away), while the other side shows a circular loop linking the end back to the beginning (zero waste). Therefore, both B and C are correct. Thus, option D is correct.
