Answer 1

Answer:

Durable goods like cars and appliances last for a long time. It is first produced from raw materials like iron, steel and other metals who are the primary sectors. It is then mixed and melted and processed in an industry to produce the finished product. This takes place in the secondary sector.

The finished product like car and appliances are then sent to the retailer to be sold to the customers. Any non durable product means bread and fishes which do not last for a long time. They are worn down or rot quickly. The primary sector is the raw materials like yeast and other materials required. It is then processed in the secondary sector which is the kitchen.

The finished product is made here and then the tertiary sector involves in reaching this bread to the retailers in turn to be sold to consumers.
