Q5: Answer the following questions in brief.
(i) Why are cotton clothes preferred in summers?

(i) How should we take care of our clothes?
Ans: Keeping clothes clean helps us look neat and stay healthy. We can take care of clothes in these simple ways:

- Read and follow care labels - they tell how to wash, dry or iron a cloth.
- Reduce dry cleaning - use it only when needed, because many clothes can be washed at home.
(iii) In what ways is synthetic fibre better than natural fibre?
Ans: Synthetic fibres often last longer and can be made to stretch. Some are water-resistant and do not stain easily. These make them useful for many kinds of clothes. Still, all fibres can wear out over time from sunlight, moisture and oils from the skin.
