Three in that list are gases so cannot be described as brittle at all! Brittleness is a characteristic only of solid materials.

Which element is brittle in the solid phase and is a poor conductor of heat and the solid electricity?
Any of the ceramic like materials. Look to the up and to the right of the periodic table. Semi-metals and solid non metals would be good places to start.

Element that is usually a gas or brittle solid at room temperature and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Element that is usually a gas or brittle solid at room temperature and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity are non metals. A metal is an element that has luster, is a good conductor of heat and electricity, is malleable, and is ductile
Is usually a gas or brittle solid that is a poor conductor of electricity?
metalloid
Is poor conductor is also poor heat the reason?
Both Electricity and Heat are forms of energy. If an element were a poor conductor of both it would simply mean that particular element was a poor conductor of energy.
Why was pig iron brittle?
It is a poor material because it is very brittle. This is caused by its high carbon content. It is a poor material because it is very brittle. This is caused by its high carbon content.
