Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- The sentence runs: “supermarkets are now beginning to take (5)__________ responsibility for the part they play…”

- Now, let’s look at the options:

1. little responsibility — This would mean they’re barely accepting blame. That wouldn’t fit, since the passage shows them making big pledges and promises.

2. every responsibility — This would mean they’re taking full blame for all environmental damage, which seems pretty extreme and unrealistic.

3. any responsibility — This is too minimal, as if it’s just the smallest acknowledgment. Again, doesn’t line up with the big promises mentioned.

4. some responsibility — This is the sweet spot. They’re beginning to accept part of the blame and do something about it, but not *all* of it. The passage highlights new commitments, not complete culpability.

So, the best choice is “some responsibility,” which properly fits the meaning of the sentence.
