Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In the paragraph, the author highlights that fashion has become a huge craze among the youth, which leads to time wastage and high expenditure. The author also suggests that efforts must be made to displace this excessive craze from the minds of today's youth. Therefore, option (b) "Steps need to be taken in order to control the growing fad of fashion amongst the youth" is the correct inference, as it directly reflects the author's concern and recommendation. 
- Option (a) is incorrect because the author has not mentioned making strong efforts to wipe out fashion. The author talks about the need for strong efforts but not personally taking action. 
- Option (c) is incorrect because the author doesn't mention a shift in fashion from ethnic to western outfits. The focus is on the general craze for fashion rather than a specific type of clothing. 
- Option (d) is incorrect because while the author does discuss the impact of fashion on the youth, it doesn't blame the fashion world for the lack of creativity. Instead, it suggests fashion's negative impact. 
Thus, the most appropriate inference is (b).
