Asked by mbhtkn8790

Answer (1)

The question asks you to match each inventor with the correct invention. Let's go through each inventor and their known invention to see which matches:

Alexander Graham Bell - He is credited with inventing the telephone . Bell was awarded the first US patent for the invention of the telephone in 1876, which transformed global communications.

Johannes Gutenberg - He invented the printing press , a revolutionary technology in the 15th century, around 1440. This invention significantly advanced the spread of knowledge and literacy across Europe.

Thomas Edison - While Edison is known for many inventions including the phonograph and electric light bulb, he is not correctly associated with the invention of the radio . That is a common misconception.

Guglielmo Marconi - Marconi is known for his pioneering work on long-distance radio transmission and the development of Marconi's law and a radio telegraph system. Hence, he is associated with the invention of the radio .


The corrected matchings should be:

Bell - Telephone
Johannes Gutenberg - Printing Press
Thomas Edison - (No match in this context)
Marconi - Radio

Please note that the invention of the airplane is credited to the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, and not to Marconi. Therefore, Marconi is not related to the invention of the airplane.
