If a handicraft requires sitting in the same posture for long hours, which improvement is most useful?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Regular breaks, proper seating and adjustment of work height
Sitting in one posture for long periods can cause fatigue and pain in the back, neck, shoulders and legs. Short regular breaks, supportive seating and a suitable work height help change posture and reduce muscular strain. Leaving sharp tools open, reducing light, or spreading materials on the floor creates safety hazards rather than improving the workplace. Exam tip: For prolonged seated work, mention ergonomic arrangement, breaks and proper work height.
