The answer is:

A. They can be formed into wires.

B.They are shiny.

D. They are good conductors

E.can be easily shaped by hammering or pounding.

The explanation:

Let's see the characteristics of the most metals:

1) the most metals can be hit by a hammer and form a thin sheets without breaking and this called malleability.

for example: Aluminium and copper

2) They can form into a very thin wires and this called ductility

for example: silvar , Aluminium and copper.

3) The metal can conduct the heat and the electricity very easy and quick, this mean that the meals are good conductor for the heat and electricity.

4)The metals like gold can be used at jewellery because it is very shiny.
