While France has made significant contributions to the history of papermaking, it was not the birthplace of paper.

Lacquer was a kind of glue.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Lacquer is not a kind of glue. Lacquer is a clear or colored varnish that is applied to the surface of an object to give it a glossy finish. It is commonly used in woodworking and furniture making to enhance the appearance and protect the surface. Glue, on the other hand, is an adhesive substance used to join two or more materials together. Therefore, the statement that lacquer is a kind of glue is false.

Rate this question:

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Papier-mache is a technique where paper is mixed with a paste or glue to create a strong and durable material. By layering multiple sheets of paper and allowing them to dry, the resulting object can become quite sturdy. With the right combination of materials and techniques, papier-mache can be as strong as other traditional materials like wood or plastic. Therefore, it is possible for objects made of papier-mache to be very strong.
