Question

cutting wood must be of the proper ______.
a. planting depth and size
b. activity and color
c. maturity or hardness
d. height and thickness

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "planting depth and size" relates to planting, not cutting wood, so it's incorrect.
• Option b: "activity and color" are irrelevant to the proper characteristics of wood for cutting.
• Option c: When cutting wood, the maturity (how developed the wood is) or hardness (its density and resistance) are important factors. This makes sense for woodworking or forestry contexts.
• Option d: "height and thickness" are more about the dimensions of the wood piece, not the proper quality for cutting.

Answer:

c. maturity or hardness
