Recycled plastic lumber is a building material made from plastic bottles and other plastic waste. Unlike traditional lumber, it won't rot or absorb water, and it is highly resistant to insect damage, so it is well-suited for marine and outdoor applications. Recycled plastic lumber is worth considering as an alternative to traditional lumber for most building projects, with the exception of interior residential projects.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the exception noted above?

Review: Recycled Plastic Lumber


Explanation

Reading the question: We read the prompt, which is rich in fact and low in opinion. We have to explain an "exception." The exception, evidently, is "interior residential projects." The objectively best answer will have to do with the fact that this plastic lumber won't rot, won't absorb water, and is highly resistant to insect damage. We will look for explanations that are relevant directly or indirectly to this information.

Applying the filter: We don't see our expectation, but we can broaden and use a basic filter. The point is that we shouldn't use this houses. (A), (C), (D), and (E) all fail to hit that basic point, while (B) does. Basic relevance was sufficient, in this case. The correct answer is (B).
