Model Answer
(5.1) Fibre (raw fibre/cotton fibre) is the basic material required for garment manufacturing. It is the first stage in the textile production process from which all subsequent stages begin.
(5.2) Converting raw fibre into yarn through spinning is an example of value addition, as it increases the economic value of the material at each stage of production.

Explanation
- (5.1) The flowchart clearly starts with Fibre Production — that is the basic/raw material. Simply naming "fibre" or "raw fibre" is sufficient for 1 mark.
- (5.2) Value addition means each stage adds economic worth to the product. Any one valid example from the flowchart (ginning, spinning, weaving, dyeing) with a brief explanation earns the mark. Spinning is the clearest and most commonly cited example.
