Question : Metal tea pots have wooden handles because:
Option 1: wood is bad conductor of heat
Option 2: it prevents electric shock
Option 3: it gives beauty to the pots
Option 4: it is hygenic
Correct Answer: wood is bad conductor of heat
Solution : The correct option is wood is bad conductor of heat.
Tea pots made of metal have wooden handles because wood has low thermal conductivity compared to metal. This design choice ensures that when the teapot is heated, the wooden handle remains relatively cool, allowing for safe and comfortable handling when pouring hot liquid. If the handle were constructed from metal like the rest of the teapot, it would quickly become very hot and pose a risk of burning the user's hand.

To keep an eye on
Option 1: To be able to understand everything.
Option 2: To see someone in a bad light.
Option 3: To watch over closely.

To see someone in a bad light: This option refers to forming a negative opinion about someone, which is not synonymous with keeping an eye on them.
To keep distance from: This option suggests maintaining physical distance but doesn't capture the essence of actively watching or monitoring someone.
Therefore, the correct answer is to watch over closely.
