Model Answer
The given process depicts the stages in the production of olive oil. It is clear from the picture that there are seven main stages from the picking to the final sale.
To start with, olives are picked from the olive trees. After that, the fresh olives are washed in cold water and rinsed several times until they are clean enough. Then the olives are put on a belt before being put in a smashing device in which they are smashed and separated into olive stones and olive paste. In the fourth stage, the olive paste is put into a bag with holes and the whole thing is put in a pressing apparatus where it is pressed to get the maximum possible liquid. In the sixth step this liquid is put in another separating device in which it is separated into oil and water. The water and oil come out through separate outlets. Finally, oil is packed in bottles for storage and sale in the market.
Overall, it is seen that olive oil manufacturing is a complex process involving many steps and many devices.
