Which sequence describes how raw materials become textiles?

• A. Cloth must be produced before fibers are harvested
• B. Fiber must be grown in a factory
• C. Natural fibers are always synthetic
• D. Plant or animal must be grown raised, fiber must be harvested, synthetic must be manufactured, fibers must be made into cloth hand or woven

Answer: (D)

Understanding how raw materials become textiles starts with the source. Raw materials come from living origins—plants or animals. Natural fibers come from growing a plant or raising an animal, then harvesting those fibers. If the fiber is synthetic, it’s manufactured in factories to create the fiber. Once fibers exist, they’re spun into yarn and then transformed into cloth through hand methods or weaving. This sequence describes the full progression from source to finished fabric.

The other options break this order or state incorrect ideas: cloth cannot come before fibers, fibers aren’t grown in a factory, and natural fibers are not inherently synthetic.
