Question

while researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• angora wool is a type of fiber that is harvested from rabbits.
• it is known for its long, silky, and soft fibers.
• angora is often blended with other types of wool to produce warmer and softer clothing.
• china is the world’s largest producer of angora wool.
• angora does not contain lanolin, a natural oil found in sheep’s wool that can cause allergic reactions.

the student wants to emphasize the unique advantages of angora wool. which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
choose 1 answer:
a angora wool is a type of fiber commonly produced in china and often blended with other types of wool.
b angora is known for its long, silky, and soft fibers and for being less allergenic than sheep’s wool.
c angora is different from other types of wool because it comes from rabbits rather than sheep.
d china produces most of the world’s angora wool, which is a type of fiber that is often used in clothing.

Explanation:

To emphasize unique advantages, we need to highlight positive, distinct traits of angora wool. Option A focuses on production location and blending, not advantages. Option C only notes the source difference, not a benefit. Option D centers on production volume and general use, not unique perks. Option B highlights the desirable fiber texture and the key advantage of being less allergenic (since it lacks lanolin that causes reactions), which are unique, positive benefits.

Answer:

B. Angora is known for its long, silky, and soft fibers and for being less allergenic than sheep's wool.
