John Roebling, the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge, was a civil engineer who invented twisted wire-rope cable.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Jhon Roebling, born on 1806 was a German immigrant who migrated to the united states around 1830. When he was hired to develop a canal system for Pennsylvania, he could see the hemp ropes which they used to pull up the barges were not strong enough.

He then started to venture the ideas to make strong as well as flexible ropes by twisting and winding together several steel wires. He then patented his invention in 1842.

He was the creator of the first wire suspension bridge between 1844 & 1845. Jhon Roebling founded a company of manufacturing wire cables in Trenton, New jersey. He flourished and continued his journey of constructing various structures and died in 1869.

What was trench warfare in simple words please
Harman [31]

Trench warfare was the main style of war during World War I. It consisted of both sides of the war, called fronts, digging trenches in the ground for their soldiers to live and fight in. Trenches were deep ditches dug in the ground that were often cramped and dirty. As the dug trenches further forward, they would take more land in the battle.

This was a very slow process and often would result in tens of thousands of casualties for a few yards of land. This is especially true because of the heavy use of mounted machine guns that both sides of the war used. These guns would tear through enemies easily. This style of warfare was also vulnerable to bombings and gas attacks, as the soldiers were stuck in the trenches and the heavy poisonous gasses would sink into the trenches.
