Question

Michelle felt an electrical shock when she was ironing her clothes. What might have caused this to happen?

Answer 1

What might have caused this to happen is B. the iron having a faulty cord. Usually, it is a cord, not an outlet that can cause a person to feel an electrical shock if something is wrong. Her rubber-soled shoes have nothing to do with this, but rather a faulty cord which can be quite dangerous if not treated. So it's a good thing she only felt a minor shock - the consequences might have been more dangerous.

Answer 2

Answer:

B: the iron having a faulty cord

Explanation:

It is much more likely that the answer is B rather than A, which very rarely ever occurs.
