Although the slightest difference in shades of paint is noticeable, it is pointless to spend much time trying to match an old paint precisely when repainting only part of the interior of a house. This is because paint fades somewhat in the months after it has been applied. Thus, even if a new paint matches the old during application, the two paints will no longer match after a year or so.

The reasoning in which one of the following is most similar to that in the argument above?

A bicycle is most comfortable to ride when the wheels are perfectly aligned. However, because the position of a bike wheel always shifts a bit when the bike is ridden, it is useless to put very much effort into perfectly aligning a new wheel.

It is rarely worthwhile to look for parts for an older car. Because most cars do not last more than 20 years, it is best to buy a new car instead of restoring an older car.

Keeping hair healthy requires using a shampoo designed specifically for one's hair type. However, hair will become unhealthy if washed consistently with the same brand of shampoo. Thus, to maintain healthy hair, a person should alternate between two suitable shampoos.

Although cookies made with butter have a better texture than do cookies made with margarine, it is pointless to spend the extra money needed to buy butter, when cookies made with margarine are almost as good.

Unless the size and shape of a dress exactly matches the size and shape of its lining, the dress will hang unevenly when it is worn. However, because most people would not notice this unevenness, it is not worthwhile when making a dress to spend much time attempting to match a dress and its lining perfectly.
