Question

Read the following paragraph:

"The environmental movement has gained significant momentum in recent years. People are becoming more aware of the impact of human activities on the planet. Furthermore, governments around the world are implementing stricter environmental regulations. On the contrary, some industries are still resistant to these changes and continue to engage in environmentally harmful practices."

How could the coherence of this paragraph be improved?

Options

Replace "furthermore" with "therefore" to show a stronger cause - effect relationship.

Remove "on the contrary" as it does not fit the context and use a more appropriate transition like "however" to show the contrast.

Add more examples of environmentally harmful industrial practices to make the paragraph more detailed.

Reverse the order of the sentences to start with the resistance of industries and then move to the positive changes.
