Question

12. Say whether the following statements are true or false. Correct the false statements.

(ii). Fur and leather are examples of animal fibres.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Animal fibres are natural fibres that are derived from animals. Silk and wool are two of the most popular animal fibres.
• Animal hair, fur, and skin are commonly used to make these animal fibres. Once extracted, animal fibres are usually woven or knitted into the fabrics.
• Fur and leather are animal products made from the skin of animals such as cows, goats, crocodiles etc. Hence these are not fibres, these are examples of animal products.

Therefore, fur and leather are examples of animal products.

Hence the given statement is false.
