Question

select the text from the paragraph that best helps you understand that malleable means able to be bent or reshaped. there may be more than one correct choice.
with age, the human skeleton undergoes a process of bone fusion. newborns bones are spongy and give way to pressure because they are made primarily of cartilage. these malleable bones make it easier for a newborn to pass through the narrow birth canal. over time, however, the bones gain more calcium and join together, forming the 206 bones that make up an adults skeletal structure.

Explanation:

The text "give way to pressure" and "make it easier for a newborn to pass through the narrow birth canal" helps understand that malleable means able to be bent or reshaped. "Give way to pressure" implies flexibility (ability to change shape under pressure) and the context of passing through a narrow birth canal (which would require bones to be bent/reshaped) supports the meaning.

Answer:

"give way to pressure" and "make it easier for a newborn to pass through the narrow birth canal"
