VI. Read the following passage and choose the item (a, b, c, or d) that best
answers each of the questions about it.
You may use the telephone every day but how much do you know about it?
The telephone was invented by Alexander Bell in 1876. Bell was born in
Scotland in 1847. But later he went to live in the USA.
Bell was always interested in sound. He wanted to be able to send sound
through a wire. He had a workshop in his house in America and did many
experiences there.
One day, he was doing an experiment in his workshop. He was careless and
spilt some burning liquid onto his clothes. Talking into his telephone, Bell
said, ‘Mr. Watson, I want you to come over here immediately please.’
His assistant was in another room far away from the workshop. However, he
heard Bell clearly on his own telephone. Quickly, he ran to Bell’s workshop.
‘Mr. Bell, I heard every word you said!’ Watson shouted excitedly.
Bell succeeded. He invented the first telephone. Later, other inventors made
better ones.
