Question

Which of the following materials is not used in making plates?
A.Steel
B.Glass
C.Plastics
D.Leather

Answer 1

Hint: We know that plates are generally used to have food. Thus, the material used for making plates must be hard and hold shape. Materials that do not hold proper shape and are soft cannot be used in making plates.

Complete step by step answer:
We know that steel material is hard in nature. On heating and after proper cooling, steel material can be moulded to desired shape. Thus, steel material can be used in making plates.
Thus, option (A) is not correct.
We know that glass material is hard in nature. On heating and after proper cooling, glass material can be moulded to desired shape. Thus, glass material can be used in making plates.
Thus, option (B) is not correct.
We know that plastic material is hard in nature. On heating and after proper cooling, plastic material can be moulded to desired shape. Thus, plastic material can be used in making plates.
Thus, option (C) is not correct.
We know that leather material is soft or cloth like in nature. Leather material can’t be moulded to desired shape. Thus, leather material can’t be used in making plates.
Thus, option (D) is correct.

Thus, the correct option is option (D).

Note:
Steel and glass are biodegradable in nature. But plastic is not biodegradable. Thus, making plates from plastic material is possible but it can prove harmful to the environment. Plates can also be made of wood. Wood is a biodegradable material and is proving to be the best material for making plates, spoons, etc.
