我的問題是第7題 paragraph 3: Watt's steam engine soon showed what it could do. It liberated industry from dependence on running water. The engine eliminated water in the mines by driving efficient pumps, which made possible deeper and deeper mining. They ready availability of coal inspired William Murdoch during the 1790s to develop the first new form of nighttime illumination to be discovered in a millennium and a half. Coal gas rivaled smoky oil lamps and flickering candles, and early in the new century, well-to-do Londoners grew accustomed to gaslit houses and even streets. Iron manufacturers which had starved for fuel while depending on charcoal also benefited from ever-increasing supplies to coal; blast furnaces with steam-powered bellows turned out more iron and steel for the new machinery. Steam became the motive force of the Industrial Revolution as coal and iron ore were the raw materials. QUESTION 7: In paragraph 3 the author mentions William Murdoch's invention of a new form of nighttime illumination in order to A. indicate one of the important devlopments made possible by the introduction of Watt's steam engine B. make the point that Watt's steam engine was not the only invention of importance to the Industrial Revolution C. illustrate how important coal was as a raw material for the Industrial Revolution D. provide an example of another 18 century invention that used steam as a power source B選項哪裡錯了? 不是說William也發明了new form的nighttime illuminate嗎? -- 懷著信念作戰 等於擁有雙份的戰力 ※ 編輯: coolgirl 來自: 59.115.53.104 (01/22 16:46)

中後段都不太重要(以本題來說),然後看最後一句:steam=>

motive force of 工業革命(夜間照明即為本段所舉的例子之一)

01/22 20:42, , 8F
也就是蒸汽機推動了包含夜間照明等在內的工業革命
