Taps and dies are tools to?

  1. assemble engine components

  2. cut metal sheets

  3. cut threads for nuts and bolts

  4. drill holes in wood

The correct answer is: cut threads for nuts and bolts

Taps and dies are commonly used to produce screw threads in metal materials. They are not used for assembling engine components, such as attaching engine parts together. While they may be able to cut through thin sheets of metal, that is not the primary purpose of these tools and there are better tools for cutting metal sheets. They also do not drill holes in wood, as they are specifically designed to create threads in metal. Therefore, the correct answer is C cut threads for nuts and bolts.
