Heat resistance gloves can protect your hands from ________.

• A. Heat and Flames
• B. Cold
• C. Water
• D. Dust

Answer: (A)

Heat resistance gloves are designed to shield your hands from high temperatures and direct flames. They use insulating materials and sometimes reflective surfaces to slow the transfer of heat by conduction, convection, and radiation, so you can grip hot objects or work near a flame without getting burned. This protective purpose is different from gloves made for cold protection, which keep heat in your hands, or waterproof gloves, which block water, or gloves designed to keep out dust. So the gloves that resist heat and flames are the ones that best answer the need to stay safe when things are hot or burning.
