Question

Three people bought copper items, and they each relied on different properties of copper. Bernie bought a set of dishes that included a copper salad bowl. Nicholas went to the hardware store and bought 12-gauge wire. Matt bought his mother a copper bracelet. Which property most likely attracted each buyer to his item?
A. Bernie relied on conductivity, Nicholas relied on ductility, and Matt relied on malleability.
B. Bernie relied on ductility, Nicholas relied on malleability, and Matt relied on appearance.
C. Bernie relied on malleability, Nicholas relied on ductility, and Matt relied on appearance.
D. Bernie relied on malleability, Nicholas relied on appearance, and Matt relied on conductivity.

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The property that attracted each of them would be:

Bernie relied on ductility, Nicholas relied on malleability, and Matt relied on appearance. 

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer 2

The answer is A.

Copper is conductive hence Bernie could use the copper bowl to easily warm his food.

Copper is ductile hence Nicholas can easily bend his copper wire gauge

Copper is malleable hence can be easily shaped into a form hence used to make a bracelet for Matt’s mother.
