For a multiple-choice question, determine the best answer to the question from the four answer choices provided. For agriddable question, determine the best answer to the question. Then fill in the answer on your answer document.  \n1 Two wires carrying electricity can create a spark if they come too close together. This spark can start a fire. Wires carrying electricity are usually covered with plastic to keep them from starting a fire. Why does the plastic keep the electricity from starting a fire?  \nA Plastic is a good insulator.  \nB Plastic can melt when heated.  \nC Plastic is softer than wire.  \nD Plastic conducts electricity.  \nScience Page 4  \n2 A student draws a model showing the movements of Earth, the moon, and the sun.
