While constructing a house, a builder selects a marble tabletop for the kitchen, where substances like vinegar, lemon juice, and tamarind are used for cooking, and even items like art books may be kept. Do you agree with this selection? Justify your answer.
No, a marble tabletop should not be used in the kitchen.
Reason- Marble is made of calcium carbonate, which reacts with acids like vinegar, lemon juice, and tamarind used in cooking. This reaction can damage the surface by causing dull spots and stains. Marble is also porous and can absorb liquids, making it hard to clean.
A more durable and acid-resistant material, like granite or quartz, is better for kitchen use.
