    Which is usually the more expensive wood?

    • Cherry

    • Maple

    Correct Answer
    A. Cherry
    Explanation
    Cherry wood is usually more expensive than maple wood. This is because cherry wood is considered a higher-end hardwood and is known for its rich, warm color and beautiful grain patterns. It is also more difficult to work with due to its hardness, which adds to its cost. On the other hand, maple wood is more readily available and easier to work with, making it a more affordable option.

    Correct Answer
    A. It is not native to North America or Europe
    Explanation
    Mahogany furniture is expensive because it is not native to North America or Europe. This means that it needs to be imported from regions where it naturally grows, adding to the cost.
