Skirts on an insulator help to increase the leakage distance, providing better insulation performance. They help to prevent leakage currents and improve the overall efficiency and reliability of the insulator in high-voltage applications.
Asphalt is a poor conductor of electricity and can be considered a good insulator for that purpose. However, it is not a good insulator for thermal energy, as it conducts heat readily.
A thermal insulator is totally incapable of answering this question
A shirt can act as a thin insulator by trapping a layer of air next to the body, providing some insulation. However, it is not as effective as purpose-built insulating materials like wool or synthetic fibers.
A heat insulator is used to reduce the transfer of heat between two objects or areas. It helps to maintain a desired temperature by trapping heat inside or preventing heat from entering, such as in the walls of a house or in the handle of a pot.
A ruler is typically made of plastic, which is an insulator. This means it does not conduct electricity well.
A potholder is an insulator. Its purpose is to insulate against the heat of the pots that you pick up.
Have a little think about what the purpose of a table mat is and you'll get your answer.

The purpose of a radiator is to transfer heat as quickly as possible. It is pretty much the opposite of an insulator.

you can get an idea by looking at the insulators they must function in rain or snow dew can collect on the insulator they are made of porcelain with a glazed surface 3" diameter gives about 3" length of dew coated glaze and is safe at about 5000V so if the insulator has 3 skirts its about 15,000V 10 skirts about 50,000V the drops to the houses are low voltage and may be as little as 1/2 of glazed surface 600V or less
This looks like a course or test question, and is best answered by your course materials.
Conduction or insulation depends on material, not shape or purpose. A metal blade is a conductor.
No. Girls in japan roll up their skirts on purpose to make them shorter. It actually against school rules. http://www.femaleontop.com/entertainment/japanese-school-mini-skirt.html
