Correct Answer: is made from silver


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The error is in the use of the preposition "from" in connection with the material of the jewellery box. The correct preposition to use when talking about the material from which something is made is "of", not "from".

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "This jewellery box is made of silver and is an antique piece."
