    • Bleached and raw
    • Liquid and solid
  2. Which fibre types are mentioned for resist and applied dyeing?

    • Stone and plastic
    • Ceramic and wood
    • Natural and man-made
    • Metal and glass
  3. What does a resist technique do in dyed fabric work?

    • Adds extra pigment
    • Dissolves fibres
    • Blocks dye
    • Speeds drying
  4. Which dye types are permitted for fabric work in the specification?

    • Synthetic only
    • Neither type
    • Natural and synthetic
    • Natural only
  5. Which technique applies dye to selected areas rather than the whole fabric?

    • Complete soaking
    • Total bathing
    • Applied dyeing
    • Full immersion
  6. What should a designer check first if dyed fabric fades unevenly?

    • Fabric width
    • Temperature and timing
    • Stitch tension
    • Thread count
  7. A dye bath holds 10 litres. Each piece needs 2.5 litres to dye fully. How many full pieces can be dyed in one bath?

    • 4
    • 25
    • 5
    • 3
  8. Why is a test swatch often dyed before the final piece?

    • To stitch seams
    • To cut patterns
    • To check colour
    • To measure length
  9. Using a man-made fibre with a natural dye is considered what?

    • A valid option
    • A safety hazard
    • Strictly prohibited
    • Physically impossible
  10. Which outcome reflects an effective resist technique?

    • Complete saturation
    • Crisp undyed areas
    • Total discolouration
    • Blurred edges
  11. A designer ties a silk scarf in knots before dyeing. Which technique is this?

    • Lino-cut printing.
    • Monoprinting with rollers.
    • Stitched embellishment.
    • Tie-dye resist.
  12. Applying dye to only one side of a fabric is an example of what?

    • Applied dyeing
    • Deep soaking
    • Full immersion
    • Vat dyeing
  13. Which step must come before fabric is dyed to create resist marks?

    • Washing final piece
    • Placing resist material
    • Trimming loose threads
    • Ironing dry seams
  14. Soaking fabric in dye for a longer time mainly affects what?

    • Fabric shrinkage
    • Colour depth
    • Thread weight
    • Weave density
  15. A student dyes 3 scarves, each needing 0.8 litres of dye solution and 1.2 litres of rinse water. How many litres are used in total?

    • 2.4 litres
    • 6.0 litres
    • 4.8 litres
    • 7.2 litres

    • Machine stitching
    • Pattern cutting
    • Predicting dye reactions
  17. Which chemical agent removes dye from a dyed fabric to create a pale motif?

    • Discharge agent
    • Bleaching wax
    • Resist paste
    • Mordant solution
  18. What factor most affects how evenly a resist-dyed fabric takes colour?

    • Dye bath depth
    • Fabric weight
    • Water temperature
    • Resist seal security
  19. What must a designer consider when dyeing cotton and silk together in one bath?

    • Constant fibre shrinkage
    • Equal thread counts
    • Identical dye uptake
    • Different fibre absorbency
  20. Which quality of a dye bath most affects how strongly a fabric is coloured?

    • Container material
    • Dye concentration
    • Water purity
    • Bath volume
