Answer 1

Hint: We make objects from material that are suitable for those tasks and those materials are chosen based on various conditions such as durability, ruggedness, usage, cost, etc. Also based on these parameters one object can be made from multiple materials and one material can be used to make multiple objects.

Complete step by step answer:
For the first object i.e. Book, out of all the given materials Paper is suitable for use. For the case of next object i.e. Tumblr is a container used for storing beverages and it can be made from multiple materials such as Glass, wood and Plastics. For the case of next object i.e. Chair which is used for sitting can also be made from multiple objects such as Wood and plastics. For the case of toys, we can use plastics and wood for the same. For the case of shoes, out of the given materials we can use leather. Hence the correct answer is:

Objects	Materials
Book	Paper
Tumbler	Glass, Wood and Plastic
Chair	Wood and Plastic
Toy	Wood and Plastic
Shoes	Leather

Note: The important factors that are taken into consideration while selecting the material for an object are:
When the cost of the product needs to be kept low then plastic is the first choice than any other material. However, plastic is not environment friendly and is replaced by other materials such as wood for the same.
When Durability and strength is required then metal is the first choice and then the plastic comes into play.
Glass adds to the aesthetics of the objects and they are mainly used in decorative items.
