Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He moved to Ontario, and then to the United States, setting in Boston, before beginning his career as an inventor. Throughout his life, Bell had been interested in the education of deaf people. This interest led to the microphone and, in 1876, his “electrical speech machine”, which we now call a telephone. News of his invention quickly spread throughout the country, even throughout Europe. By 1878, Bell had set up the first telephone exchange in New Haven, Connecticut. By 1884, long distance connections were made between Boston, Massachusetts and New York City.  Decide if the statements that follow it are True or False: ( 1.0 pt ) 25.Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland. 26.He lived in Ontario before moving to Boston. 27.He invented the telephone in 1878. 28.At that time, his invention was known all over the world.  Choose the best answer: ( 0.5pt ) 29.When was he born?
