QUESTION 1

Which single feature is the clearest sign that a fabric is authentic kente rather than a printed imitation?

Episode 2 states that strip seam lines are the primary visual marker of authentic woven kente. A printed imitation cannot replicate those seams. · Rewatch Ep 2

QUESTION 2

Adire is identified by three key features. Which combination is correct?

Episode 3 lists all three adire identifiers: an indigo palette, resist edges showing soft bleed, and named Yoruba motifs. · Rewatch Ep 3

QUESTION 3

According to the series, what is the foundational principle that should guide all African fabric identification?

Episode 1 establishes that the foundation of informed styling is specificity: knowing the precise fabric, the people it comes from, and its tradition. · Rewatch Ep 1

QUESTION 4

You pick up a cloth at a market. It feels stiff and heavy, shows open-weave strips, and the seller says it is worn at Yoruba ceremonies. What fabric is it most likely to be?

Episode 4 explains that stiff and heavy cloth with open-weave strips used at Yoruba ceremonies points directly to aso-oke. · Rewatch Ep 4

QUESTION 5

What two physical tests together confirm that an ankara is wax print rather than fancy print?

Episode 6 gives exactly two tests: equal color depth on both sides and the presence of crackling. Wax print passes both; fancy print fails both. · Rewatch Ep 6

QUESTION 6

Which of the following is NOT one of the three pattern-logic questions introduced in Episode 8 to identify fabrics by motif alone?

Episode 8 names scale, symmetry, and edge as the three pattern-logic questions. Country of origin is not part of that framework. · Rewatch Ep 8

QUESTION 7

Shweshwe has three identifying characteristics. Which option lists all three correctly?

Episode 7 specifies shweshwe's three markers: a precise geometric print, a starchy stiff hand with a faint vinegar smell, and a branded selvedge edge from a South African manufacturer. · Rewatch Ep 7

QUESTION 8

When checking a fabric for authenticity against machine-printed imitations, Episode 9 says to apply four checks. What is the correct order?

Episode 9 is explicit that the four authenticity checks must be applied in this sequence: construction seams first, reverse-side dye penetration second, surface texture third, and color edge quality last. · Rewatch Ep 9

QUESTION 9

The Episode 5 side-by-side review gives a shorthand rule for three fabrics. Match the clue to the fabric: 'indigo resist edges.'

Episode 5 restates the shorthand directly: strip seams equal kente, indigo resist edges equal adire, stiff open-weave equals aso-oke. · Rewatch Ep 5

QUESTION 10

Episode 10 describes the complete toolkit built across the series. Which item does NOT belong in that toolkit?

Episode 10 lists the full toolkit as the two-side color test, crackling check, shweshwe's geometric stiff profile, three pattern questions, and four physical authenticity checks in order. Counting strip colors for pricing is never part of the toolkit. · Rewatch Ep 10
