Think about a metal pan on a hot stove. Would the handle get hot pretty quickly? Do you think different metals might conduct heat at different rate? Some pot handles don't get as hot as others as quickly. So do you think saying metal conducts heat quickly might depend on which metal it is? In general though, I would have to say yes to the question, but a better answer would be "depends on the metal, but for a lot of metals, yes".
Or--I'm just making this too complicated and they are just looking for a yes.
