Which one of the following caused the search for a fabric like Kevlar?

  • A.A shortage in the gasoline supply
  • B.A desire to protect police officers
  • C.The need to replace asbestos
  • D.The want of better musical instruments

Answer: A

The search was caused by a shortage in the gasoline supply.

The passage says that in 1964 there were gasoline shortages due to conflict in the Middle East, and Kwolek's group was trying to make a light, durable fibre for tires so that vehicles could get better mileage.

Protecting police officers came later with the vest, and musical instruments are a use of the fibre. The passage does not mention asbestos.
