  • 3. 

    Glass is hard but it can ……… easily.

    • Bend

    • Stretch

    • Break

    Correct Answer
    A. Break
    Explanation
    Glass is a hard material, but it can break easily. Glass is brittle and lacks flexibility, making it prone to shattering when subjected to force or pressure. Unlike materials like metal or plastic, which can bend or stretch without breaking, glass is more fragile and has a tendency to fracture when stressed beyond its limits. Therefore, the correct answer is "break."

    Which of the following property means to protect from water?

    • Waterproof

    • Heat-trapping

    • Opaque

    • Soft

    Correct Answer
    A. Waterproof
    Explanation
    The property that means to protect from water is waterproof. This term refers to a material or object that is designed to prevent water from passing through it or to resist the penetration of water. It implies that the item is impermeable to water and can keep it out, ensuring that it remains dry and unaffected by moisture.

  • 5. 

    Which material is used to make a key?

    • Wood

    • Metal

    • Plastic

    • Cloth

    Correct Answer
    A. Metal
    Explanation
    Metal is used to make a key because it is a strong and durable material that can withstand the repeated use and pressure applied while unlocking and locking doors or other objects. Metal keys are also less likely to break or wear out compared to keys made from other materials such as wood, plastic, or cloth. Additionally, metal keys can be easily shaped and cut to fit specific locks, making them a practical choice for key manufacturing.

  • 6. 

    Which material is suitable for making gloves?

    • Wool

    • Paper

    • Glass

    Correct Answer
    A. Wool
    Explanation
    Wool is suitable for making gloves because it is a natural material that provides warmth and insulation. It is soft, comfortable, and can retain heat even when wet. Wool also has moisture-wicking properties, which helps to keep the hands dry. Additionally, wool is durable and resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for gloves that need to withstand daily use and friction.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Metals can be …………...

    • Transparent

    • Rigid 

    • Soft

    Correct Answer
    A. Rigid 
    Explanation
    Metals can be described as rigid because they have a high level of strength and stiffness. They do not easily deform or bend under pressure, making them suitable for structural applications. Metals have strong metallic bonds between their atoms, which contribute to their rigidity. This characteristic allows metals to maintain their shape and resist deformation, making them ideal for constructing buildings, bridges, and other load-bearing structures.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    This material can conduct heat and electricity, and can be hammered into a shape, or drawn into a wire.

    • Metal

    • Plastic

    • Fabric

    • Glass

    Correct Answer
    A. Metal
    Explanation
    Metals are known for their ability to conduct heat and electricity, as well as their malleability. They can be hammered into various shapes and drawn into thin wires. Plastic, fabric, and glass do not possess these characteristics, making them incorrect options. Therefore, the correct answer is metal.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Plastic is absorbent.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Plastic is not absorbent because it is a non-porous material, meaning it does not allow liquids or gases to pass through its surface. Unlike materials such as paper or cloth, plastic does not have tiny spaces or pores that can absorb or soak up liquids. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Is aluminium a light material?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Aluminium is considered a light material because it has a low density compared to many other metals. It has a density of about one-third that of steel, making it lightweight and easy to handle. Additionally, aluminium has a high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it can be strong and durable while still being lightweight. These properties make aluminium a popular choice in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and construction, where weight reduction is often desired.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Leather is waterproof.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Leather is known for its natural water resistance due to its dense and tightly woven fibers. The process of tanning leather involves treating it with chemicals that make it even more resistant to water. This treatment creates a barrier that prevents water from easily penetrating the leather. However, it is important to note that while leather is waterproof to some extent, it is not completely impervious to water and can still be damaged if exposed to excessive moisture for extended periods.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Hessian is soft and fluffy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Hessian is soft and fluffy" is false. Hessian is a type of fabric made from jute or hemp fibers, which gives it a rough and coarse texture. It is commonly used for making sacks, bags, and upholstery. Therefore, it is not soft and fluffy.
