Read the excerpt from “The Telephone: A Truer Tale.”

The year was 1849, and Antonio Meucci, a man trained in engineering, was experimenting with electricity. He and a doctor were trying to determine if electric shock could be used to cure illnesses. One day, when he turned on the switches to treat a patient in another room, he heard the patient yelp. However, the voice had not come from the next room—it had come from the copper wire that ran between them!

Following that fateful day, Meucci left his medical experiments behind. Instead, he set a goal to develop that talking wire into a machine he called a “talking telegraph.” After six years of trials and tests, he was able to build a working model. Meucci found it to be a useful device almost immediately.

Based on the sequence of events in the excerpt, which sentence best states a cause-and-effect relationship?

Because Antonio Meucci was a trained engineer, he was able to invent a “talking telegraph.”
Because electricity was used to cure sickness, Antonio Meucci invented the “talking telegraph.”
Because the device was so useful, Antonio Meucci invented the “talking telegraph.”
Because he heard a patient’s yelp through a copper wire, Antonio Meucci invented the “talking telegraph.”

Answer:

Because he heard a patient’s yelp through a copper wire, Antonio Meucci invented the “talking telegraph.”

Explanation:

A cause-and-effect relationship is a relationship where one event causes another to happen. The first event is referred to as the cause and its result is referred to as the effect.

Here, we have Antonio Meucci, a trained engineer who created the talking telegraph after hearing a patient's yelp through a copper wire. His engineering knowledge was necessary for this invention, but it isn't the cause. If he hadn't heard the patient's voice through the wire, he probably wouldn't have thought of the talking telegraph.

This is the fourth option is the correct one.

Answer:

D

GIVE ME LIBERTY
The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia
Thomas J. Wertenbaker

Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

What of the following best summarizes the main point of including information about the earlier colony of Sir Walter Raleigh?

To introduce one source of the settlers' fears
To imply the new settlers would succeed
To suggest causes of the earlier failures
To create conflict for the new colonists
