UPSR SK Paper 1- Question 22

Read the story below and answer the questions that follow.

Long ago, the craftsmen took time to carve chests. They worked hard day and night. These antique chests
had beautifully carved lids, sides and legs. They are decorated with nature motifs such as exotic flowers
and animals. Some of these chests were made without using any nails. The craftsmen were good at fitting
the parts of the chests accurately and perfectly.
Nowadays, chests are usually mass produced. Even though the factory workers work hard to meet
schedules but they make sure the task is done well. Once the chests are made, they are packed carefully.
