Question 3 of 11beginner💡 UnderstandShort Answer2 marks

The containers which are used to store materials in shops and at home are usually transparent. Give your reasons for this.

Correct Answer

Transparent containers are preferred for storing materials in shops and homes because they allow us to see the contents inside without opening them.

This helps in quickly identifying what is stored in each container, checking the quantity remaining, and monitoring the condition of the stored items.

For example, transparent glass jars in kitchens allow us to see if the stored items like pulses, spices, or grains are fresh and how much is left. In shops, transparent containers help customers see the products clearly before purchasing, and shopkeepers can easily monitor stock levels.
