Answer 1

Answer: Kelvin Doe changed the lives of the people in his community by his innovative thinking.

Explanation:

Although the paragraph begins by inquiring about what a teenage boy, a DJ, and batteries have in common, the main point is not about their possible similarities, but about Kelvin Doe´s experience.
