Amelia is writing a response to this excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen. I decided to put his entire machine s

hop in our basement, but there were two problems... One, his shop wouldn't fit in our basement, and two, there was no way the lathe, weighing fifteen hundred pounds, and the milling machine, weighing two thousand pounds, could be carried into the basement. I solved this problem by hiring a contractor to dig a large hole, break open a wall of the basement, enclose the addition with concrete, and add a roof that could be used for building an outside deck to the house. I also enlarged my mother's kitchen and pantry. I now had the entire machine shop in our basement. Which would be the best response to the excerpt? Dean Kamen writes in a formal and scholarly style.
