Question

Assertion (A): Knowledge of garment end-use and wearability expectations is essential for fabric selection.

Reason (R): The intended use of a garment dictates the fabric's required properties, such as durability, stain resistance, and comfort.

Options

• A is true, but R is false.

• A is false, but R is true.

• Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

The assertion is true because you must understand how and where a garment will be worn before choosing a suitable fabric. The reason is also true and explains it perfectly because a garment’s specific purpose directly determines the properties its fabric needs. For instance, sportswear requires high breathability and stretchability, while industrial workwear demands durability and stain resistance. Therefore, matching fabric qualities to the garment’s intended function ensures comfort and performance.
