**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Electric Shock**: Electric shock occurs when a person comes into contact with an electric current. This can happen under certain circumstances related to the electrical gadget and its usage. 2. **Identifying Circumstance 1 - Poor Insulation of Wires**: One significant circumstance that can lead to electric shock is poor insulation of the wires. If the insulation around the wires is damaged or inadequate, it can expose the conductive parts, allowing electricity to flow where it shouldn’t, potentially leading to a shock. 3. **Identifying Circumstance 2 - Usage of Electrical Gadget with Wet Hands**: Another circumstance is using an electrical gadget with wet hands. Water is a good conductor of electricity, and when a person uses an electrical device with wet hands, it increases the risk of electric current passing through the body, resulting in an electric shock. ...
