    Bread P was kept in an airtight container and showed no signs of spoilage, while bread Q developed black spots after having water droplets placed on it and being left on a table. Leaving bread P in a cupboard with good aeration would likely lead to spoilage. Bread Q spoiled because moisture and lack of air flow created suitable conditions for fungal growth, while bread P remained unspoiled due to being stored in an airtight container without excess moisture.
