How do you correct a short circuit?

A short circuit is repaired by first finding out where the short circuit occurred. On major faults usually the wires are removed and new wires are installed. On minor faults, the wire that shorted is separated from the offending wire or separated from the grounding medium. To put the conductor back into service the wire's insulation has to be brought back to the level of what the wire was when it was new. Once that is done the circuit can be re-energized.

Look for the cause of the trip and correct. Reset the circuit breaker. If it continues to trip it might be an overloaded circuit, loose connections in the circuit, or a short in the wiring somewhere.

What best describes the condition that occurs when bare wires in an electrical circuit accidentally touch causing more current to flow than the circuit can safely carry it will cause a fuse or circiut?

The condition described is a short circuit. A short circuit occurs when bare wires in an electrical circuit make unintended contact, creating a path of low resistance that allows excessive current to flow. This can cause a fuse to blow or a circuit breaker to trip in order to prevent damage or fire.
