FIBRE TO FABRIC MCQs
:
A, B, and C
Fibres we obtain from nature (plants and animals) are called as natural fibres. Wool is obtained from hair of animals like sheep, goat, yak, etc; silk from cocoon of silkworm and cotton from fruits of cotton plant. Hence, wool, cotton and silk are natural fibres. Nylon is prepared from chemicals and hence is a man-made fibre.
:
B and C
Fibres are thread-like structures and strands of fibres combine to form the fabric.
Jute fibre is obtained from the stem of the jute plant. Moreover, wool is obtained from sheep and silk fibre is obtained from silkworms.
Jute, wool and silk are natural fibres as they are either produced from plants or animals.

History of clothing: 1 Mark each
Indian clothes: 1 Mark
1. In the beginning of civilisation, people used barks, leaves and animal fur as clothes.
2. When people settled down as farmers, they used woven vines and animal fleece as clothes.
3. In the next stage, flax and cotton were woven into clothes. In those times, people just draped the fabric to cover themselves.
4. People started wearing stitched clothes only after the needle was invented.
Some signature clothing items of India include turbans, saris, and dhotis.
