  2. there is too little room to fly the kite
  3. power lines are too close to the ground
  4. you might get a shock if the kite string touches a power line

  2. unplugging a toaster before trying to get stuck toast out
  3. swimming outside during an electrical storm
  4. sticking a screwdriver into an outlet

9. The reason that people who work with electrical power lines wear rubber gloves is that rubber is:

  2. warm
  3. a conductor
  4. an insulator

10. If a wire from a power line falls to the ground, the best thing for you to do is:

  1. call the electric company to replace it
  2. put on a pair of gloves before touching the wire
  3. lift it with a stick
  4. throw water on the wire

11. Never pour water on burning electric wires because the water:

  1. can damage the floor
  2. can spread the fire
  3. can conduct electricity
  4. may boil and change to steam

12. If someone has been shocked or burned by electricity the best thing to do is:

  1. remove the electric wire the person is in contact with
  2. pour water on the victim
  3. call for help immediately
  4. stand there and watch

13. When you see that a wire is frayed you should:

  1. make sure that it is plugged in

  3. your hair blower cord has come into contact with water
  4. you have a telephone call

15. Three birds are sitting on the electrical power lines outside your house. They are not injured because:

  1. air acts as an insulator
  2. their feet are insulated
  3. the wire is not wet
  4. they are not in contact with the ground or the utility pole
