Read It! Postage stamps originated in England. Rowland Hill first proposed the idea in 1837. Hill was a school teacher and
government worker. He wanted letters to be prepaid. Instead of charging by the page, he thought payment
should depend on weight. He also believed the payment should be low. This would mean that all citizens could
send letters. The first postage stamp was issued in 1840 as a result of Hill's work. It is referred to as the "Penny
Black." The stamp featured a portrait of Queen Victoria against a black background. And as the name suggests, it
cost only one penny.
Do It!
Hill's idea was
A difficult
B thoughtless
C useful
D
careless

i believe the best answer would be C, useful!

Explanation:

well, looking over the other answers available:

a. difficult doesn't make sense, as it wasn't a difficult system to implement, and he did it rather easily due to how simple it was.

b. thoughtless doesn't make sense, because he implemented this system to reduce prices and make it so that more people could send letters.

d. careless doesn't make sense, as this system was implemented after a lot of trial and error and careful consideration.

so, c would be the most accurate! especially because we still use this system today. hope this helps! ☆
