Which tool is used to collect coarse particles?

• A. Spoon
• B. Trowel
• C. Scoop
• D. Filter

Answer: (A)

Coarse particles are larger and bulkier, so you need a tool that can scoop up a sizable amount in one motion without losing material. A scoop fits that need with its wide mouth and deeper bowl, designed to pick up and transfer bulk solids efficiently. A spoon, while similar in shape, is meant for smaller quantities and finer textures, so it isn’t ideal for pulling in larger particles. A filter is used to separate solids from liquids or to catch very fine materials, not for gathering bulk solids. A trowel is grown more for spreading or mixing materials rather than collecting them. So the scoop is the most appropriate choice for collecting coarse particles.
