Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
It is true that it is difficult to cut cloth using a pair of scissors with blunt blades.
Surface area and pressure are the aspects that play a vital role in cutting clothes using a pair of scissors. Since pressure is inversely proportional to the surface area, a pair of scissors having sharp blades or a lesser surface area applies a greater pressure and makes the cutting of cloth quickly. Therefore, a pair of scissors with blunt blades have a greater surface area and apply a lesser pressure, making cutting cloth harder.
