According to the author, the special quality of corduroy is that

  • A.It needs no ironing
  • B.It combines the virtues of both cotton and velvet
  • C.It contains the correct mixture of cotton and velvet
  • D.Both the rich and the not-so-rich can afford to buy it

Answer: D

Correct answer: It combines the virtues of both cotton and velvet

The passage says outright that corduroy combines the comfortable no-nonsense appeal of cotton with the perfectly correct luxury finish of velvet. That is a claim about the qualities it brings together, not about the fibres it is made of, which is why the correct mixture of cotton and velvet misreads it as a recipe.
