Raising the humidity of a room protects furniture, draperies, and computers from damage caused by excessively dry air. Further, it can make people feel warmer, helps the body’s defenses against viruses, and alleviates some skin rashes.

Summary
Increased humidity levels in a room protects furniture, draperies, and computers from damage caused by air that is too dry. Humidity can also make people feel warmer, helps the body defend itself against viruses, and relieves some skin rashes.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
We should note that, since this is an “except” question, any strongly supported conclusion would be an incorrect answer choice. We’re looking for an answer choice that is unsupported or least supported. Some strongly supported conclusions could include:
Dry air can feel cooler than warm air.
Higher humidity levels can help relieve some skin conditions.
Higher humidity levels can benefit a person’s immune system.

A
Humidity can be bad for computers.
This answer is anti-supported. We know from the stimulus that humidity levels in a room can protect computers from the effects of air that is too dry. It is dry air, instead, that is bad for computers.
B
A room can be too dry for the optimal maintenance of its furnishings.
This answer is supported. We know from the stimulus that raising humidity levels in a room can protect computers from the effects of air that is too dry.
C
Dry air can feel cooler than humid air of the same temperature.
This answer is supported. We know from the stimulus that humidity can make people feel warmer.
D
Increased humidity can be beneficial to the skin.
This answer is supported. We know from the stimulus that humidity can help alleviate some skin rashes.
E
The human immune system can benefit from humidity.
This answer is supported. We know from the stimulus that humidity can help the body’s defense against viruses.
