Maddie wanted to make a sugar-water solution to put in her hummingbird feeder. She found some sugar cubes and was about to drop them into a glass of water, when her brother suggested crushing the cubes before mixing. Was this a good suggestion? Why or why not?

Yes because the chunks of sugar that didn't dissolve fully would not stay in the water to provide a choking hazard for the bird. Thus being the reason to crush them.

Yes, this was a good suggestion, because the smaller the particles of sugar, the less time it takes to dissolve.
