Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. Content: Fashion now reflects society's changing values. Social media and celebrity endorsements spread trends quickly, while creative expression and customized choices let individuals show their identity. The blend of traditional and modern styles keeps heritage alive, and rising e-commerce makes trends accessible to everyone. The commercialization of festivals is a side effect, since it turns them into marketing events.
