C. They are used to store food in the refrigerator.

D. They are primarily used for cleaning dishes.

Answer: (B)

Explanation

The source states that 'Spoons and forks are basic kitchen utensils that are essential for eating various types of food,' indicating their primary purpose is for preparing or eating food, not decoration, cleaning, or storage.

A. To specify the age of an object

B. To aid in clear communication about the dimensions of objects

C. To describe the texture of surfaces

D. To identify the color of objects

Size descriptions like 'big' and 'small' serve to help communicate and compare the physical dimensions of objects, making descriptions clearer and more precise.

3. In which situation would correctly applying temperature descriptions help improve safety or comfort?

Answer: (C)

Explanation

Using 'hot' to describe a boiling water kettle accurately indicates the high temperature and potential scalding risk, which is important for safety. The other options misapply the terms: 25°C is not typically considered 'cold,' a frozen ice pack is 'cold,' and a sunny day is usually 'hot' or 'warm,' not 'cold.'
