Question

When is the timber transported to saw mills?

• A. It is done in summer as the lumber would be dry and easy to transport.
• B. It is done in winter, by sliding the logs over the ice sheets.
  
• C. It is done in autumn as the fallen leaves provide a smoother surface to roll the logs.
  
• D. It is done in spring as the ice melts in rivers, and the logs can be floated downstream.

Answer 1

The correct option is D It is done in spring as the ice melts in rivers, and the logs can be floated downstream.

Timber transportation is usually done in spring as the ice melts, the lakes and rivers are good to sailboat. Logging is done during winters as it's easy to slide the logs over the ice and keep it in trucks or near lakes.
