Answer:

B. Edison thought that the secret to a better bulb could be found

Explanation:

The first electric bulb was made by Humphrey Davy in 1800. He did experiments with electricity and invented electric battery. He connected a piece of carbon with his battery with wires and saw that the carbon began glowing and produced light. He called it electric arc.

Later English physicist Joseph Swan also invented bulbs but his bulbs were not fit for day to day use because he used carbon filaments in his bulbs that burned quickly.

The bulb invented by Thomas Alva Edison was successful everyday use. He experimented with thousands of different filaments and found that carbon filaments didn't burn and glowed longer if placed in oxygen free bulb. He eventually managed to produce a bulb that glow for more than 1500 hours.

Swan's lightbulb didn't last as long as Edison's and required more current to operate at the same power level as Edison's. Higher current meant you need thicker wire to power it.

Explanation:

The book "The monkey's paw" is a novel of the genre of horror literature, published in 1902, it tells how Sergeant-Major Morris gets a stuffed monkey leg that was haunted and fulfills 3 wishes to 3 different owners, and that its current owner's wishes are fulfilled but in a counterproductive way.

The White family shows some interest in buying the monkey paw, but Sergeant Morris does not want to sell the monkey paw because he fears what may happen to its next owner due to a desire for a fast path to a life of tranquility and luxury.

The things Morris values the most are Freedom, Peace and Struggle.

This can be seen by reading the text above, where Morris says that the empty house by the sea promotes a great peace for her. Emptiness is pacifying in her life and this peace allows her to feel free and happy.

Peace and freedom are things she values above all things and that's why she shows how the monks and her friend are wise to be detached from material things.

However, she likes to live in the struggle that the accumulation of things promotes. At the end of the text, she says that she enjoys this fight and that's why she can't let go of everything.

In this case, we can say that freedom, peace and struggle are the things she values.

It is important to note that "The Tyranny of Things" is an essay written by Elisabeth Woodbridge Morris where she explores the dangers of consumerism that is so ingrained in our society.
