No is shall not agree.
This is because, fuse is good component as if excess flow of electricity occurs it will break itself and hence, help to save our appliances.

Dear Student,
◆ Answer -
No. I will not agree to replace fuse by a piece of wire.
● Explanation -
- Electric fuse is a device used to protect over-current in electric circuit.
- It is made up of tin, lead, zinc, etc.
- When the there is overload on the circuit, fuse material melts and interrupts the current.
- If simple wire is used here, it will not melt on overcurrent. This can lead to short-circuit and other electric hazards.
Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
