Answer 2

Answer:

No, she is wrong on her assumption.

Explanation:

As we know, Bakelite is a thermosetting plastic(once moulded cannot be deformed) and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.It is best suitable in making handles of utensils and electrical switches. On the other hand, polythene is a thermoplastic(can melt easily).It is used for making toys, combs and various types of containers. If we replace both of its place, it would be unsafe as, plastic as handles of utensils would be dangerous for skin.
