Stages of stone dressing
Step-by-step solution
1. The block is first cut to size (sizing). 2. Faces are made plane (planning). 3. The required shape or moulding is given (shaping). 4. The surface is finished and finally polished.
Explanation
Dressing proceeds from rough to fine: sizing, planning, shaping, finishing and polishing.
Why the other options are wrong
The other orders start with planning or shape the stone before it has been cut to size.
Shortcut
Size → plane → shape → finish → polish.
Common mistake
Starting with planning.
Correct answer: B) sizing, planning, shaping, finishing, polishing
