Detailed Solution

Statements that most fabrics cannot handle heavy loads without breaking and that most fibres made of synthetic fibres absorb a lot of moisture are incorrect.
Synthetic fibres dry very quickly because they absorb very little water. Natural fibres are not as durable as synthetic fibres. Artificial fibres are rather light. Synthetic fibres are stronger, more elastic, soft, affordable, and less likely to wrinkle than natural fibres. Less water or sweat is absorbed by synthetic fibres. Therefore, synthetic-fibre clothing sticks to the body in hot and humid weather and is uncomfortable to wear. Artificial fibres burn and melt easily.
