Which fabric shows moderate abrasion resistance and moderate elongation?

• A. China Silk
• B. Crash
• C. Handkerchief Linen
• D. Tussah Silk drapery

Answer: (A)

Moderate abrasion resistance and moderate elongation are best met by silk fabrics that balance strength with a bit of give. China Silk, a refined filament silk, has a smooth surface and good overall strength, so it wears reasonably well under rubbing without being overly rugged. At the same time, silk fibers can stretch a little before breaking, giving moderate elongation. The other options tend to skew toward higher wear resistance with little stretch (like linen) or toward rougher surfaces and different wear patterns (tussah silk drapery, crash), which don’t align with both properties being moderate. So China Silk best fits the combination.
