It would be the first one and the third one

Answer:

Conductors allow electricity to easily move through them.  

Metal is an example of a conductor.  

Explanation:

Conductors are materials that have free electrons, so they allow electrical currents (which are made of electrons traveling) passing through them.

Let's analyze each statement separately:

- Conductors allow electricity to easily move through them.  --> TRUE: conductors allow electrical currents to pass through them.

- Glass is an example of a conductor.  --> FALSE: glass is an example of insulator (insulators are materials that do not allow the flow of current)

- Metal is an example of a conductor.   --> TRUE: metals are generally good conductors of electricity, since they have many free electrons.

- Conductors do not allow electricity to easily move through them.   --> FALSE: it's actually the opposite, conductors allow electricity to easily move through them.

- Conductors restrict the flow of thermal energy. --> FALSE: conductors are generally also good conductors of thermal energy, so they do not restrict the flow of thermal energy.
