Questions 32-35 refer to the following report.

COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT
OF TS387A AND TS731K SYNTHETIC FIBERS

The R&D team recently administered a strict test of both the TS387A and TS731K synthetic fibers and the results are as
follows:

TS731K, the newer fiber, is slightly more durable than TS387A. The TS731K was also more resilient in severe
environments, including unbearable heat and freezing cold. It is also more difficult to cut and tear accidentally.
Furthermore, TS731K absorbs a number of different dyes and retains color well. After several cycles of tests in a regular
washing machine, dyed TS731K was much less likely to run than TS387A.

TS731K, however, requests a slightly higher manufacturing cost. Also, due to its resiliency, it cannot be neatly cut.
Unfortunately, it will never be suitable for delicate garments, but could guarantee high profitability as a material for pants,
jackets, and loose-fitting shirts.
71
Currently we are using TS387A to mass produce a number of garments. This fiber still presents better quality than what
most other clothing companies are using and we have had a continuous increase in our operating profits. Under the current
circumstances it might be costly and unnecessary to convert to TS731K at this point, despite its clear superiority. We
certainly need to seriously consider changing to TS731K only when it appears our competitors are catching up to us.

32. What is the purpose of this report?

A. To evaluate raw materials
C. To expose the dangers of certain products
33. What is NOT mentioned as a feature of TS731K?
A. It is good for use with dyes.
C. It is rather expensive to produce.
34. What does the report suggest doing?
A. TS731 K should be used.
C. The use of TS387A should be abandoned.
35. What is the rationale behind the suggestion?
A. TS731 K is much better than TS387A.
C. TS387A is still a relatively good product.
B. To promote a newly set-up service
D. To discuss the differences between services
B. It is not adversely affected after several washes.
D. It is not suitable for loose-fitting shirts.
B. TS387A should continue to be used.
D. TS731K and TS387A should be used together.
B. TS387A is a product of low quality.
D. TS731 K is easier to manufacture
