Dull knives are more likely to cause cuts than sharp ones.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Dull knives are more likely to cause cuts than sharp ones because when a knife is dull, it requires more force to cut through an object. This increased force can cause the knife to slip or slide off the surface, leading to accidental cuts. On the other hand, sharp knives require less force and provide better control, reducing the risk of cuts. Therefore, it is true that dull knives are more likely to cause cuts.Rate this question:
