drag each ore to the metal it produces. answers may be used more than once. (2 points)
aluminum copper tin
cassiterite corundum bauxite chalcopyrite

Explanation:

To solve this, we match each ore to the metal it produces:

• Cassiterite is the ore of tin.
• Corundum is an ore of aluminum (specifically for aluminum production in some contexts, though it's more known for gemstones like sapphire and ruby, but in industrial terms related to aluminum production from certain corundum - like ores or in the context of this problem's matching, it's associated with aluminum).
• Bauxite is the primary ore of aluminum.
• Chalcopyrite is the ore of copper.

Answer:

• Cassiterite → tin
• Corundum → aluminum
• Bauxite → aluminum
• Chalcopyrite → copper
