Practice one SAT question at a time

Questions come from the Bluebook question bank. Made by Iskaa303 (Iskander Madikhan).

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Brass is a metal alloy composed primarily of zinc and copper.
  • Alpha brass contains less than 35% zinc.
  • It is more malleable than beta brass and can be manipulated at room temperature.
  • Beta brass contains more than 45% zinc.
  • It is harder and stronger than alpha brass but is more difficult to work with because it requires heat to manipulate.

The student wants to specify an advantage of alpha brass. Which choice most effectively uses information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
