Answer 1

The correct option is (c) Glass bottles

To explain I would say: Glass bottles are not used as the equipment for the preparation of ginger beer as the gas produced will cause them to explode and may break. Instead of glass bottles, PET plastic bottles are used. Rolling pin, sharp knife, lemon squeezer, spoon, thermometer, etc. are the equipment used in the preparation of ginger beer.
