Step 1: Understanding the mold-making process.
The process starts with mixing plaster with water and pouring (A), followed by applying a release agent to the model (B) to avoid the plaster sticking. Next, you allow the plaster to set (C). After that, you prepare the model and attach the cottle (D), and finally, remove the model (E) after the plaster has fully set.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
- (1) (E), (A), (B), (C), (D): Incorrect, as removing the model should come last, not first.
- (2) (A), (B), (C), (D), (E): This is the correct sequence.
- (3) (A), (C), (B), (D), (E): Incorrect, applying the release agent (B) should come before the plaster is set.
- (4) (C), (B), (D), (A), (E): Incorrect, the order of steps is wrong.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct sequence is (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), which is option (2).
