IV. Choose the word or phrase that best fits the blank space in the passage.
Formerly, industrial goods 1. (made / are made / were made / making) to last forever. A car or a
cooker was used for a very long time. Nowadays, 2. (but / though / however / then), industry has
persuaded us that its 3. (produce/producing/products/production) can only last a very short time.
It's 4. (cheap / cheaper / the cheapest / as cheap) to throw them away than to repair them. This has
led directly to the 'throw-away society", and to the waste of the earth's resources. Just think of the
cars that are traded in daily simply because they are out-of- fashion". Just think of the expensive
packaging material that 5. (are /is/have/has) thrown away each time a new object is bought. Why
ren't they recycled to prevent extreme 6. (waste / lost / spending / loss) of resources?
