A newly built spider silk “bio-factory” in Michigan is a closely controlled artificial biome that is used for harvesting silk fibers from the golden orb web spider and produces on 1 acre of floor space what it takes 50 acres of fields to produce. However, expenses, particularly for the water needed to maintain the spiders’ biome, are high, and the silk fiber produced costs about three times as much as Connecticut bombyx mori (common silkworm) silk fibers, the silk fibers commonly sold throughout the United States.
Which of the following, if true, best supports a projection that the spider-silk facility in Michigan will be profitable?
A. Unlike bombyx mori (common silkworm) silk fibers, the silk fibers harvested from spiders are gathered without harming the insects and thus will sell at exceptionally high prices to customers concerned with animal cruelty.
B. It is virtually impossible to reduce the cost of Connecticut bombyx mori (common silkworm) silk fibers any further.
C. Once the facility operators gain experience, it will be possible to cut operating expenses by about 20 percent.
D. Since silk fibers ship relatively well, the market for the spider silk fibers is no more limited to Michigan than the market for Connecticut bombyx mori (common silkworm) silk fibers is to Connecticut.
E. A second spider silk facility is being built in Greenland, taking advantage of cheap water supplies and high demand for cold-resistant fabrics.

newly built spider silk bio factory - closely controlled artificial biome.
expenses are high and silk produces cost about three three times as much as silkworm
A if thats the case then they have usp to attract customers and charge bit high price to make some money. this is ans.
B not concerned with that.
C this can be partial scope but we cant guarantee profitability.
D this wont help as silkworm is also cheaper. so reject.
E but we are concerned with factory in michigan. so reject.
