While preparing a presentation on historical writing materials, a student took the following notes:
* Papyrus, developed in ancient Egypt, is made from the fibrous pith of a river plant.
* Parchment, developed in the Mediterranean, is made from processed animal skins.
* Papyrus is highly sensitive to moisture and degrades quickly in damp environments.
* Parchment is much more durable and resistant to humidity than papyrus.
* Sheets of papyrus are usually written on only one side, while sheets of parchment can be written on both sides.
The student wants to contrast the durability and structural utility of papyrus and parchment. Which choice most effectively uses information from the given notes to accomplish this goal?
- APapyrus and parchment are historical writing materials that differ in their origins, as papyrus was developed in Egypt and parchment was developed in the Mediterranean.
- BBecause papyrus is made from the fibrous pith of a river plant, it is highly sensitive to moisture and must be written on only one side.
- While papyrus is highly sensitive to moisture and typically written on only one side, parchment is much more resistant to humidity and can be written on both sides.Cevap
- DParchment, which is made from processed animal skins and can be written on both sides, is less durable than Egyptian papyrus.
Cevap
The choice that states that while papyrus is highly sensitive to moisture and typically written on only one side, parchment is much more resistant to humidity and can be written on both sides.
The correct answer effectively fulfills the student's goal by contrasting the durability (papyrus is sensitive to moisture, while parchment is resistant to humidity) and structural utility (papyrus is written on only one side, while parchment can be written on both sides) of the two writing materials, drawing directly and accurately from the notes.
