Help my daughter with her homework?

genlisaeThe rat-brat child has what I consider the worlds most ridiculous school assignment ever. Ready for this? (You can laugh, or WTF, or whatever you want, this is the actual assignment taken "as is" from her book).
*edit* I think the typo just adds to the whole thing really. Also comic sans .. making everything more "educational".
Where we live there are no stores which use paper bags anymore (outside of the one specialty kitchen store where I buy a small fortune worth of spices every month). Even the "boutiques" use some sort of stiffer molded plastic. I haven't seen a paper grocery bag in well over a decade. What they do have is the option to purchase (usually for around a dollar) a reusable fabric bag with the store branding on it in the store colours. As a result everyone has a small mountain of reusable fabric bags and it is not unusual (quite common really) to see people in line at any given store with a rainbow of bags from various stores and the plastic bags are only used if the groceries won't all fit in the bags the shopper brought with them.
So my daughter went out to do this survey and without exception the answer she got was "Fabric".
Before she scribbles "Invalid survey" all over this thing and writes her own I thought I would ask here. For anyone who cares to help her out do you prefer plastic or paper bags when you go shopping and why?
