At an enormous research cost, a leading chemical company has developed a manufacturing process for converting wood fibers into a plastic. According to the company, this new plastic can be used for, among other things, the hulls of small sailboats. But what does the company think sailboat hulls used to be made of? Surely the mania for high technology can scarcely go further than this.
18. The author’s opinion of the manufacturing process described in the passage is based primarily on the fact that
(A) plastic is unlikely to be durable enough for high-quality sailboat hulls
(B) the research costs of developing the process outweigh any savings possible from the use of the plastic
(C) a small sailboat is not normally regarded as a high-tech product
(D) hulls for small sailboats can be made from wood without converting it into plastic
(E) many other spheres of human activity are in far greater need of technological research
Please share your idea and your reasoning :D

Author concludes: "Surely the mania for high technology can scarcely go further than this"

In my opinion,

Author says that as company spent a large amount of money it should have focused on some concrete results rather than such trivial findings ,eg - a substitute for the material of small boat's hull.

Small boats hulls dont require such high amounted research.They can very well be made of wood and still suffice the sailing requirements.

Just my view..
I hope it helps..

thx.

I still feel D should be the answer.
