they are created to scale.
they model all or part of earth’s surface.
they are spherical and three-dimensional.
they represent surface features using symbols.
they provide detailed information about towns or cities.

They are created to scale.

They model all or part of Earth’s surface.

They are spherical and three-dimensional.

Explanation:

They are created to scale.  YES.

They are a scaled representation of each part of the planet, with a similar scale, without major deformation.  Flat maps stretch and distort the scales by being forced to represent a sphere in a flat manner.

They model all or part of Earth’s surface.  YES.

Their representation covers all the planet's surface, from one Pole to the other, including both land and water areas.

They are spherical and three-dimensional.  YES

That's what a globe is by definition, just like our planet... so that's why it's the best way to represent the surface of the planet, using a similar model.

They represent surface features using symbols.  NO

Most globes have drawings or textures showing the rivers or the mountains for example, but they don't have a symbol saying "Here's a river".

They provide detailed information about towns or cities. NO

No, most globes will draw the political boundaries and identify the capital and most important cities in a country, but they will not  provide detailed information about a city, beyond its name and location.
