C) Sarah was lightly shocked when she inserted the plug of her lamp in the wall socket.
D) Sarah accidentally left her curling iron plugged in and burned her hand on the metal.

Answer 1

Hello there! 

Your answer is: A) Sarah walks quickly across the carpet in socks and feels a small shock on her foot.

This is because this could happen with out man-made electrical appliances. Light bulbs, wall sockets, and curling irons are all man-made, therefor not naturally-occurring. 


I hope I helped!
