Fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms from Kevin's email!

This term means a "place where products are manufactured" or "a production plant":
Kalvin Krime has just built a new factory 1 in China, where their perfumes will be manufactured very cheaply.

Now find the adjective meaning "indestructible" or "impossible to destroy":
This knife is absolutely unbreakable 2. If you manage to destroy it, we will give you your money back!

Finally, this adjective describes something which is important enough to merit the time, effort, or money spent on it:
This is a very worthwhile 3 book. You really won't be wasting your time if you read it!
1 factory: "Factory" is the term we were looking for here. A "factory" is a big building where products are manufactured. Example: "I used to work in a factory, but then my hand got cut off by one of the machines". Note the plural form: "factories".
2 unbreakable: "Unbreakable" is the best answer here. If something is "unbreakable", it cannot be broken or destroyed. This term is made up of the term "break", preceded by the prefix "un-" and the suffix "-able". Similar examples include "unforgettable",
3 worthwhile: "Worthwhile" is the best term here. A "worthwhile book" is "worth" reading: it merits the time spent reading it, or the money spent buying it. The expression used in Kevin's email is "a worthwhile investment", which describes something which is important enough to invest money in, as it will give good results in the long term.
