Read the excerpt from "The Telephone: A Truer Tale."
Based on the excerpt, which statement best describes the
author's attitude toward Alexander Graham Bell?
The story of the telephone's invention in 1876 is one of
hard work, determination, and triumph. Many accounts
make it sound like a fairy tale. After all, it has a terrific
happy ending in which the hero, Alexander Graham Bell,
uses his astonishing new device to transmit the words "Mr.
Watson, come here. I want to see you." However, the true
story of how the telephone came to be is not quite as
happy as most imagine. In fact, it is not a tale of triumph at
all, but one of tragedy. What's more, the first words ever
spoken over a wire could not possibly have been uttered by
Alexander Graham Bell, because he was only two years
old at the time
The author greatly dislikes Bell for taking credit for the
invention of the telephone.
The author feels pity for Bell because he is not the real
inventor of the telephone.
The author celebrates Bell even though he gives him
only partial credit for the telephone.
The author feels it is important to show that Bell was not
the true inventor of the telephone.
