Which problem was most likely if kiln temperature remained uneven?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Uneven firing and breakage
Ceramic firing depends on controlled heat reaching the vessel evenly. If kiln temperature varies, some areas may remain underfired while others become overheated, producing weak spots, warping, cracks, or breakage. Straight holes in beads belong to drilling or bead-making techniques; shell shine and metal hardness concern different materials and processes. Thus the pottery defect is the direct consequence of uneven kiln heat.
