He wants a synthetic material so he does not have to depend on harvesting a natural product.Which material would be best for Caleb’s invention?

Answer
A
cellulose
B
nylon
C
polystyrene
D
vulcanized rubber

Explanation

Nylon is a synthetic material that is strong, flexible, and does not dissolve in water, making it well suited for fishing nets that must hold weight. Cellulose is natural, and polystyrene is too rigid and brittle for this use. The best choice is nylon.
