A museum decides not to include a plain plastic mixing bowl in an exhibit of functional American kitchen art. What statement best explains this choice?

The museum likely excluded the plain plastic mixing bowl from the exhibit because it does not meet the criteria of being considered a piece of functional American kitchen art. The museum may have chosen to focus on items that are more aesthetically pleasing, historically significant, or culturally important in the realm of kitchenware. The plain plastic mixing bowl may not have been seen as unique or artistically valuable enough to be included in the exhibit.
