The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Thermoplastics and Thermosetting Plastics:** - Thermoplastics are materials that become soft when heated and can be molded into different shapes. They can be re-melted and re-shaped multiple times. - Thermosetting plastics, on the other hand, harden permanently after being shaped and cannot be remolded upon heating. 2. **Identifying the Options:** - The question asks which of the given options is made of thermoplastic. Let's assume the options are: 1. Polythene bag 2. Bakelite 3. Epoxy resin 4. Melamine 3. **Analyzing Each Option:** - **Polythene bag:** This is made of thermoplastic. When heated, it becomes soft and can be reshaped. When cooled, it hardens again. - **Bakelite:** This is a thermosetting plastic. Once it is set, it cannot be remolded. - **Epoxy resin:** This is also a thermosetting plastic. It hardens permanently after curing. - **Melamine:** This is another thermosetting plastic and cannot be reshaped once set. 4. **Conclusion:** - Among the options provided, the polythene bag is the only item made of thermoplastic. Therefore, the answer is option number 1. **Final Answer:** The item made of thermoplastic is the **polythene bag** (option number 1). ---
