(b) which enables metals to be drawn into wires.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Malleable.

b) Ductile.

Answer 2

Malleability is the property which allows metals to be hammered into thin sheets

Ductility enables metals to be drawn into wires

Explanation:

Malleability

• Malleability is the ability of the fabric to deform under pressure (compressive stress).
• If the material is forged, it can be cut into thin sheets with a hammer or rolled.

Ductility

• Flexibility is a physical property of a material that is related to its ability to thin thinly or become entangled in a wire without breaking.
• Heating material can be pulled into the cord.
