Final answer:

The statement about touching two polarized insulating objects together to cancel polarization is false; additional actions are typically needed to neutralize the charges.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement two insulating objects are polarized is true, as insulating materials can become polarized when they are in the presence of an electric field. However, the idea that touching two polarized objects together suffices to cancel the polarization is false. Polarization involves the separation of positive and negative charges within an insulating material. Merely touching two polarized objects together will not necessarily redistribute these charges to neutralize both objects; external actions such as grounding one or both objects may be needed to effectively discharge these separated charges.
