Question

Passage: "Old manuscripts are fragile in ways books are not. Their palm leaves crack if handled dry, and ink fades if kept in bright light.

Preserving a manuscript means preserving both its words and its material history." Which of the following does the passage NOT support?

A scan shows the leaf's texture and smell
