    Which is smaller and inexpensive?

    • Office tools

    • Office equipment

    Correct Answer
    A. Office tools
    Explanation
    Office tools are smaller and less expensive compared to office equipment. Office tools refer to items such as pens, pencils, staplers, paper clips, and other small items used for everyday office tasks. These tools are typically affordable and can be easily replaced when needed. On the other hand, office equipment refers to larger and more expensive items such as printers, photocopiers, computers, and furniture. These items are essential for office operations but are generally larger in size and require a higher budget for purchase and maintenance. Therefore, office tools are the smaller and less expensive option compared to office equipment.
