Question 17:

a. In response, many residents began carrying cloth bags not because they suddenly wanted an eco-friendly identity, but because wet paper packaging tore on the walk home and replacing spoiled food cost money.

b. A similar pattern appeared at the refill shop nearby, where customers first came to save money on soap and rice, then slowly became more willing to reuse jars, compare labels, and waste less.

c. This suggests that green living often spreads through convenience, comfort, and visible savings, which can be more persuasive than distant warnings about the planet.

d. In my neighborhood, climate change became easier to notice after the rainy season started arriving in short, intense bursts that flooded the market street and spoiled vegetables faster than before.

e. Those practical choices did not solve the weather problem, yet they changed daily habits in a way that speeches alone rarely manage.
