Metals have low electronegativity, so they are conductive because they pass charges easily.

The bonds can shift because valence electrons are held loosely and move freely.

The correct response is:
The bonds can shift because valence electrons are held loosely and move freely.
This statement explains why metals exhibit properties such as conductivity; the free movement of valence electrons within the metallic structure allows for the easy flow of electric current.
