A person is electrically charged, but because of his sneakers with rubber soles, the charge cannot flow into the ground. What happens when he touches a friend who is barefoot?

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Your 'friend ' IS electrically grounded....so the electric charge will flow from you through your friend to the ground.....likely BOTH of you will feel a shock.
