Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the other 
three in the position of the primary stress in eac...stance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to 
create a current but only when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in 
water. In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow. 
Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they contain no 
charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow easily. Water itself is a poor 
conductor of electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a water 
molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral). However, most water we encounter does 
contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water. Many of the problems that 
occur when touching electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin 
through perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive.
