## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify the characteristics of Benjamin Moore's AURA paints that would result in less time and material for contractors. The options provided are:<br />A. It forms substantial film on first coat, requiring less paint to produce an even finish on the second coat.<br />B. It is mildew resistant requiring less prep and clean-up.<br />C. The second coat can be applied in as little as an hour.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />We need to select the two options that would result in less time and material for contractors. <br /><br />## Step 3<br />Option A suggests that the paint forms a substantial film on the first coat, which would require less paint to produce an even finish on the second coat. This would save time and material for the contractor.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Option B suggests that the paint is mildew resistant, which would require less prep and clean-up. This would also save time and material for the contractor.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />Option C suggests that the second coat can be applied in as little as an hour. While this would save time, it doesn't necessarily save material.
