Answer 1

Hint : In order to complete this table we need to see what type of material they are. Man-made means they are made by human beings and natural means they are made by natural occurring substances. As plastics are man-made material and comb, pen, bucket are made up of plastics, so they came in the man-made material section.

Complete Step By Step Answer:
First we have to see what is the origin of the material, by which it is made.
A wooden chair is made up of wood and wood comes from a tree which is a natural resource so it is natural.
If we talk about comb, it is made up of plastic material which is man-made.
Eraser is made up of rubber, that comes from rubber plants which is a natural resource.
Bucket and pen both are made up of plastic that is man-made.
Jute bag is made up of jute that comes from a jute plant which is again a natural resource.
Cotton cloth is made up of cotton which is also a plant so again a natural resource.
Hence, jute bags, cotton cloth and eraser are natural and pens, buckets and comb are man-made materials.

| Name of the item | Material Used

a.| Wooden chair| | wood
b.| Comb | Plastic |
c.| Eraser| | rubber
d.| Bucket | plastic|

Note :
Man-made means they are made by human beings and natural means they are made by natural occurring substances. Jute bags, cotton cloth and eraser are natural and pens, buckets and comb are man-made materials. We have to see the origin of the substance used to make it. Like eraser is man-made but its origin rubber is natural.
