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.

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 include:

Dry air can feel cooler than warm air.

Dry air can damage common household furnishings.

Higher humidity levels can help relieve some skin conditions.

Higher humidity levels can benefit a person’s immune system.

This answer is anti-supported. We know from the stimulus that humidity can protect computers from the effects of air that is too dry. It is dry air, instead, that is bad for computers.

This answer is supported. We know from the stimulus that raising humidity levels in a room can protect furnishings such as furniture, draperies, and computers from the damage caused by air that is too dry.

This answer is supported. We know from the stimulus that humidity can make people feel warmer, so inversely, dryness can make people feel cooler.

This answer is supported. We know from the stimulus that humidity can help alleviate some skin rashes, which is surely beneficial.

This answer is supported. We know from the stimulus that humidity can help the body’s defense against viruses, which is a function of the immune system.
