Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Air is usually a poor conductor of electricity. For example, if there is a gap between the wires of a circuit, the circuit would be incomplete. That is, there will be no passage of electricity through the circuit. So air is a poor conductor of electricity. But the electricity might conduct when a very high current flows through the circuit, which results in a very high voltage. Air will also conduct when there is any moisture present in it.
