Bleaching improves the strength of the pulp.

a) True
b) False

Answer: b
Explanation: The given statement is false. Bleaching reduces the strength of the pulp. Bleaching involves both the oxidation of colored bodies and the removal of residual encrusting materials (the principal one being lignin) remaining from the digestion and washing stages. This also results in loss of strength.
