Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Starbucks, the ubiquitous coffeehouse chain, has become a global phenomenon, boasting over 33,000 stores in 80 countries. While its success is undeniable, its widespread presence has sparked debate regarding its impact on local culture and consumerism.
One of the most common criticisms levelled against Starbucks is its tendency to homogenize local coffee cultures. With its standardized menu and store design, critics argue that Starbucks contributes to a bland, globalized experience, pushing out independent cafes and their unique offerings. However, proponents argue that Starbucks can actually complement local coffee scenes, offering an alternative choice rather than replacing existing options.

Conversely, supporters highlight the brand''s focus on high-quality ingredients, ethical sourcing practices, and comfortable atmosphere as justifications for their pricing model.
Ultimately, the impact of Starbucks is complex and multifaceted. While some may criticize its global expansion and influence, others appreciate its consistency, convenience, and commitment to certain ethical practices.
