Question

"Maui Jim designers used an ancient Hawaiian craft to design the acetate collection." What does this statement imply?

A) The acetate collection is inspired by modern Hawaiian craft.

B) Ancient Hawaiian craft techniques influenced the design of the acetate collection.

C) Acetate is a traditional material used in ancient Hawaiian craft.

D) Maui Jim designers exclusively use acetate in their Hawaiian-inspired designs.

Answer 1

The statement suggests that ancient Hawaiian craft techniques influenced the design of the acetate collection by Maui Jim, meaning the design incorporates traditional Hawaiian elements.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "Maui Jim designers used an ancient Hawaiian craft to design the acetate collection" implies that B) Ancient Hawaiian craft techniques influenced the design of the acetate collection. This means that the designers at Maui Jim looked to historical Hawaiian art forms, skills, and methods to inspire the aesthetics and techniques used in creating their modern range of sunglasses made from acetate. Acetate is a synthetic material, so option C is incorrect. The statement does not suggest that acetate is used exclusively (Option D), nor that the craft is modern (Option A), thus B is the most accurate interpretation. The designers have applied the motifs or elements derived from historical Hawaiian crafts to produce a contemporary product with traditional Hawaiian elements in its design.
