Swati, Sanchit, Surbhi and Sakshi were talking about the difference between the weaving and knitting.

Q. Who among them correctly made the difference between weaving and knitting?

Detailed Solution for High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) - Question 4
  1. Weaving:

    • Weaving involves interlacing two sets of yarns at right angles to create a fabric. The two sets of yarns are known as the warp (the set that runs lengthwise) and the weft (the set that runs crosswise). This process is typically carried out on a loom.
  2. Knitting:

    • Knitting is a process in which a single thread or yarn is used to create loops, and these loops are interlinked to form a fabric. Knitting can be done by hand or using a knitting machine.

Analyzing the Statements:

  1. Swati:

    • Incorrectly defines knitting as making yarn from fibers (which is actually spinning) and incorrectly defines weaving as interlacing yarns (which is correct but does not relate to knitting).
  2. Sanchit:

    • Incorrectly defines weaving as making yarn from fibers and incorrectly defines knitting as interlacing yarns at right angles (which is actually weaving).
  3. Surbhi:

    • Correctly defines weaving as interlacing two sets of yarns at right angles to make a fabric and correctly states that in knitting, a thread or yarn is used to create a cloth.
  4. Sakshi:

    • Incorrectly claims that weaving is done only for silk and knitting only for wool, which is not true.
