Answer 2

(d) Wedge and lever

A shovel is a simple machine made out of the combination of the wedge and the lever. The long handle acts as the lever which enables the operator to carry loaded materials such as soil. The blade acts like a wedge which facilitates easy penetration into the ground or the soil easily. Therefore, a shovel is considered a compound machine because it is made from two different types of machines i.e. the edge and lever.
