The electrical wires in many homes are made of copper and covered with plastic. Why are copper and plastic good choices for electrical wires?

• Copper is a conductor of electricity, and plastic is an insulator of electricity.

• Copper is an insulator of electricity, and plastic is a conductor of electricity.

• Copper is a conductor of electricity, and plastic is an insulator of heat.

• Copper is an insulator of electricity, and plastic is a conductor of heat.

Objects like ​ (a)   water bottles do not hold ​ (b)   very well. Engineers might have decided to use this material to make disposable water bottles because plastic doesn't ​ (c)   heat well like ​ (d)   would. If they did, the water we'd drink would be ​ (e)   in temperature.
