Read the excerpt from “The Telephone: A Truer Tale.” At about the same time that Antonio Meucci was filing patent caveats for his talking telegraph, Alexander Graham Bell was starting to work on his own telephone model. Bell was an expert in the field of elocution, or vocal speech. He was very skilled at teaching deaf students the challenging task of speaking aloud. Just like Meucci, he enjoyed experimenting. Bell also dreamed of a world full of useful telephones, just as Meucci did. However, he had something that Meucci did not. Bell had a wealthy father-in-law who was happy to invest in his dream.

Based on the details of this excerpt, a reader can infer that

Meucci did not succeed because he was not as talented as Bell.
Bell’s expertise in elocution helped him to develop the telephone.
Bell succeeded because he had more financial resources than Meucci.
Meucci’s caveats prevented Bell from filing a patent for the telephone.

the answer should be d) he was one of those young thousands who greeted the war with a certain amount of relief, welcoming the liberation from webs of tangled emotion" since it is the best option because it shows his desire to free himself. 

hope this answer you! have a great day.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

- "there are several movements that doris lessing was associated with. first of all, communism. she pursued her communist beliefs and included them in her writing, and was also a member of several communist book clubs. she is also strongly associated with feminism, her fight for equality and women's rights.

doris lessing is the kind of writer who has followers, not just readers. they have been engaged to her chiefly because of her involvement in major problems, such as politics and woman-ism."

the switch in narration increases the proximity of the narrator to the main character and the reader can perceive information only through the filter of a single character.
