1. Read the section "Diversity Boosts The Bottom Line." Select the paragraph from the section that
suggests there is a financial incentive connected to increasing representations of diversity.
(A) In 2019, over half of all Barbie dolls were diverse. Some of the newer Fashionistas have
been inspired by customers.
(B) "Our wheelchair Barbie and our doll with vitiligo were literally fan requests," says
McKnight.
(C) Shoppers have welcomed the inclusiveness. Barbie's top seller throughout 2019 was a
curvy black doll with an Afro. And among the 10 top-selling Fashionistas last year, seven were
diverse, including the doll that uses a wheelchair.
(D) This year's Fashionistas line will roll out in two phases. The new Ken doll and Barbie with
vitiligo are on sale now, while the new doll with a prosthetic leg and the Barbie with no hair will
become available starting in June.
