Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Have you heard of Alexander Graham Bell? He invented something that you probably use every day. He invented the telephone.
Bell became interested in communication because his mother was deaf. His parents communicated with each other through sign language. He wanted to help everyone communicate better. Bell studied speech patterns and discovered that they could be sent in electric waves. In 1876, he and his partner Thomas Watson invented the telephone. The first words ever spoken over a telephone were “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.” Watson heard Bell clearly. Their invention worked.
It took many years before the telephone was commonly used. By the 1930s many homes had telephones.
