(D) by keeping energy consumption and waste generation in check thereby
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1: (D), (B), (A), (C) -> Starts with "by keeping" which is a subordinate clause and cannot begin the sentence logically.
Option 2: (A), (C), (B), (D) -> Starts with "on the environment" which is incomplete and lacks context, creating a fragmented opening.
Option 3: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> Begins with the context-setting clause, flows logically connecting consumer awareness to their actions and the resulting impact.
Option 4: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> Places (B) immediately after (C) which breaks the logical connection between awareness and supporting brands.
Hence, Option 3: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> The sentence reads: "As consumers are becoming more aware of the influence of their buying choices on the environment, they support brands that align with their values by keeping energy consumption and waste generation in check thereby demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and a greener future." This follows a clear logical progression: cause (awareness) → action (supporting aligned brands) → method (keeping consumption in check) → outcome (demonstrating commitment) -> correct
