Which fabric is described as a twilled, napped, woolen or worsted fabric with a smooth lustrous face and dense texture, typically made of cotton, silk, or rayon, woven with a soft semi-gloss finish?

• A. Broadcloth
• B. Cap
• C. Body
• D. Bridge

Answer: (A)

This question is about recognizing a fabric by its appearance, weave, and typical materials. The described fabric is a smooth, dense material with a soft semi-gloss finish and a lustrous face, made from cotton, silk, or rayon. Those traits point to broadcloth. Broadcloth is known for its tight, even weave that yields a clean, refined finish with a subtle sheen, making it a common choice for lining and drapery in funeral merchandise as well as dress fabrics. While other fabrics might be described using terms like twill or nap, the combination of a dense, smooth surface and the typical fiber content aligns best with broadcloth. The other items listed are not fabrics, so they don’t fit the description.
