Question

All of the following are examples of fibres except:

• A. silk
• B. polyester
• C. nylon
• D. plastic

Answer 1

The correct option is D plastic

Fibre is a very thin, thread-like strand from which a fabric can be made. Fabrics are further stitched together to form clothes. Fibres are categorized into:

1. Natural fibres (obtained from the Nature)
2. Synthetic or artificial fibres (made in a factory)

Nylon and polyester are examples of synthetic fibres, while silk is a natural fibre obtained from the cocoon of a silkworm.

Plastic is not a fibre. It is a chemical substance that can be melted and made into several daily-life objects like mugs, buckets and plates.
