Question

Which of the following is not a property of synthetic fibres?

• A. Highly durable
• B. Cheaper than natural fibres
• C. Do not catch fire easily
• D. Wrinkle free

Answer 1

The correct option is C Do not catch fire easily

Synthetic fibres are highly durable, wrinkle-free and cheaper than natural fibres.
Synthetic fibres are made up from petroleum products that can easily catch fire, melt and stick to the body of the person in contact.
That is why, in the kitchen, we use clothes made of cotton or silk which have high heat resistance and do not burn easily on contact with fire.
