According to the passage, consumers are buying more products

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.
We truly live in an age of abundance. Everything from our wardrobes, to our homes, to the stores selling all kinds of stuff - every place is overflowing with stuff we have managed to acquire or aspire to own and it is a corroboration of a truly consumerist era. We know what we want and we want it now. Everyone has wants that need to be fulfilled and envy - the Green eyed monster has transmuted into Shrek - the lovable ogre - with the world now not only coming to terms with, but also embracing with gusto, a culture of material ambition. Keeping up with the Joneses is out and ‘Have it, flaunt it’ is the new style statement.
Advertisers, through every platform available, television, newspaper, radio, internet and sundry other means, are encouraging us to go out and buy the latest model, the latest product or the latest service. With manufacturers churning out newer models every few months and consumers lapping them up, it would seem that perfectly good working products would be consigned to the waste basket but that is not the case. The market for second hand products is burgeoning, except for the fact that they are now no longer called second hand but ‘used products’. Without offending the sensibilities or the ego of someone who doesn’t have enough spare money to buy the latest, state of the art model, the altered name means he can now buy and flash a product which till yesterday was haute but has suddenly lost value and favor after the coming of its latest avatar.
