While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
● Muslins are woven cotton fabrics with a variety of uses.
● Dhaka muslin is a handmade fabric produced in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
● It has an extremely fine weave and is primarily used to make luxury clothing.
● Sheeting muslin is a machine-made fabric produced in factories.
● It has a coarse weave and is primarily used to upholster furniture and create backdrops for theater sets.
The student wants to emphasize a difference between the two muslins. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Explanation
Answer: 1) Dhaka muslin is a handmade fabric with an extremely fine weave, while sheeting muslin is machine made with a coarse weave.
Goal: Emphasize a difference between the two muslins.
Why? To show difference, you must compare on the same features. Choice 1 contrasts production method and weave quality.
Traps:
- B) Both are muslins → similarity
- C) About uses → different aspect, not direct comparison
- D) Only about sheeting → incomplete comparison
