Correct answer to question 17 (Hazardous Materials): Approved packaging is tested to safely contain that specific type of hazard during normal transportation

Why

Approved packaging has been tested against the specific hazard it's meant to hold, which a generally sturdy but unapproved container has not, so substituting one is not a safe shortcut.
