The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Concept of Conductors and Insulators:** - Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow through them easily. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum. - Insulators are materials that do not allow electric current to flow through them easily. They resist the flow of electric current. 2. **Defining Poor Conductors:** - Poor conductors are materials that do not allow electric current to pass through them efficiently. They can be considered as insulators. 3. **Identifying Poor Conductors from the Options:** - The options given are Plastic, Clothes, Wood, and All of These. - We need to analyze each option to determine if they are poor conductors. 4. **Analyzing Each Option:** - **Plastic:** This is a non-metallic substance and is known to be a poor conductor of electricity. It is commonly used as an insulator. - **Clothes:** Typically made from fabrics (like cotton or polyester), clothes also do not conduct electricity well, making them poor conductors. - **Wood:** Wood is another non-metallic substance that does not conduct electricity effectively, thus it is also a poor conductor. 5. **Conclusion:** - Since all the given options (Plastic, Clothes, and Wood) are poor conductors of electricity, the correct answer is "All of These." **Final Answer:** All of these (Plastic, Clothes, Wood) are poor conductors. ---
