Then, somebody picks up the rubber mat and attempts to fold it however, the mat is dry and brittle and does not easily

Answer 1

The situation that best exemplifies an object experiencing both a physical change in color followed by a physical change in texture is:

A bright rubber mat lays outside in the sun for an entire season, causing it to look faded afterwards. Then, somebody picks up the rubber mat and attempts to fold it; however, the mat is dry and brittle and does not easily fold.

In this case, the fading of the color of the rubber mat due to prolonged exposure to sunlight represents a physical change in color. The subsequent experience of the mat being dry and brittle, making it difficult to fold, represents a physical change in texture.
