Question

which two properties do these four objects have in common?
sapphire
bracelet
crown
metal bar
select the two best answers.
transparent
shiny
fragile
hard

Explanation:

1. Analyze each property:

• Transparent: The bracelet, crown, and metal bar are not transparent, so this is incorrect.
• Shiny: The sapphire (a gemstone), bracelet (likely metal), crown (likely metal), and metal bar all have a shiny appearance as they reflect light well.
• Fragile: The bracelet, crown, and metal bar (made of metal) are not fragile; metals are generally durable, so this is incorrect.
• Hard: Sapphire is a hard gemstone, and metals like those in the bracelet, crown, and metal bar are also hard (resistant to deformation or scratching in many cases).

1. So the two common properties are shiny and hard.

Answer:

shiny, hard
