Hi, science worms. My name is Andy. I want to share my science knowledge about Thomas Edison,
Charles Babbage and Samuel Finley Breese Morse with you today. Thomas Edison developed a
wide range of products from the electric light bulb to the phonograph and motion picture camera.
Charles Babbage designed the first mechanical computer and it was also the prototype for the
future computers. So, he is considered the "father of computers". Samuel Finley Breese Morse
was the first person to make a telegraph with only one wire, and also created Morse code. Morse's
invention made it possible to quickly communicate with people far away.

We can understand from Andy’s talk .................. .

A) Charles Babbage and Thomas Edison were inventors, but Samuel Morse was a discoverer
B) all these scientists in history contributed to the same field of science with their inventions
C) Charles Babbage’s invention has helped other scientists to improve new generation computers
D) people could keep in touch with each other easily with the help of inventions of Edison and Morse
