Hi! The correct order of the events that led to Art Fry's creation of temporarily permanent bookmarks described in The Evolution of Useful Things is: 3,4,1,2. The correct answer is the third one.

Explanation:

I chose the third option (3,4,1,2) because, according to the text, the chronological order for the things that led Art Fry's creation are:

Spencer Silver came upon a curious adhesive that he demonstrated to Fry.
Fry reflected on the failure of bookmarks to do all that might be expected of them.
Fry spent nearly a year and a half experimenting.
Fry's idea was accepted as being commercially viable.

Besides the way in which these events were described by the author, and if you think about it, it is pretty logical the way this happened. Usually, we come up with ideas when we are complaining about the lack of a thing that would be useful in certain moments. If you think about it, this is also what happened here. The last step of the process is always the commercial viability just as in this case.

“Tricking” and “misleading” are both synonyms and they both have different connotations... “tricking” has more of a negative tone while “misleading” has more of a neutral tone.

Having a special talent or ability that must be concealed, hidden, or refrained from for the safety of yourself or others is a downside of having an ability. Think Violet Parr in "The Incredibles." Her only goal is to enjoy her life and social interests, yet she is hiding an ability she hasn't had the chance to master and it is a social impairment.
