Question

Complete the correlation
Silkworm : Cocoon:: wool :
A. Jute of hemp
B. Fleece of sheep
C. Cotton plant
D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint: Silkworm forms a cocoon around it for the completion of its life cycle from this cocoon silk is obtained to make fibers. In this relation, wool relates to by which wool is obtained.

Complete answer: These all options correspond to fibers which are either:
Natural fibers – obtained from a plant source such as cotton and animal sources such as rabbits, sheep, etc.
Synthetic fibers- these are the fibers that are commercially made or synthesized chemically by a combination of chemical compounds. Examples are many these days like clothes made on a large commercial scale.
In option -A- Jute of hemp
These are fibers obtained from a plant source. Jute obtained from the stem and ribbon of a plant i.e. jute plant and hemp is a low-quality THC Cannabis plant. These fibers are used as such interchangeably.
In option -B- Fleece of sheep
Wool fibers come from sheep. Sheep bears a wool coat on its body and shearing is a process of removal of wool coat from the sheep. This sheared wool from a sheep is known as fleece. So sheep provide wool which corresponds to fleece.
In option -C- Cotton plant
This is a plant source fiber. Cotton obtained from the cotton plant is a fine fiber for making clothes commercially but here this option does not meet the requirement of the question.
In option -D- None of the above
So, the correct answer to this question is option” B” i.e. Fleece of sheep

Note: Fibers are thread-like substances that are longer than its width. Fibers are used commercially to make cloths and they may be obtained from any plant or animal or produced synthetically/commercially.
