What this part tests

Questions 21–22: Two Choices

Strategy: Both answers must be supported by the transcript. Check each option independently; order does not usually matter.

Options for Questions 21–22

  • AThe production process is fuel efficient.
  • BIt is the least sustainable of alternative fabrics.
  • CProduction costs are high.
  • DIt provides additional health benefits.
  • EIt is not durable in the long-term.
  • FIt needs to be produced in a certain way to be sustainable.
  • GChemicals required for production can be reused.
  • HThis is from a wholly sustainable source.
Q21–22B, D — It is the least sustainable of alternative fabrics.; It provides additional health benefits.
“most people use these terms interchangeably They're often deliberately vague, I think, and don't provide enough information about how their products are made”

B and D: the pair distrust labels that are 'deliberately vague' and give too little information, so claims about a sustainable source and health benefits look unproven.
