Step 1: Understanding the pottery process.
The process of making pottery typically starts with making the dough (A), followed by making pots (B), drying and finishing (C), and then decoration and glazing (D).
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
- (1) (A), (B), (C), (D): This is the correct order of operations in pottery making. First, the dough is made, then pots are formed, followed by drying and finishing, and finally, decoration and glazing.
- (2) (A), (B), (C), (D), (E): Option (E) refers to firing, which comes after decoration and glazing, not before.
- (3) (E), (B), (A), (D), (C): This option does not follow the correct sequence. Firing (E) should come last, not at the beginning.
- (4) (C), (B), (D), (A), (E): The sequence is incorrect. Drying and finishing comes after making the pot, not before.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct order is (A), (B), (C), (D), which is option (1).
