Questions 16 – 18 refer to following text.

Benjamin Franklin, an American printer, patriot, and inventor, experimented with electricity. He thought
lightning and electricity was the same thing. He did a dangerous experiment in the mid-1700s to find out
electricity. Franklin flew a kite during a thunderstorm. He attached a metal key to the kite string. An electric
charge ran down the wet kite string to the key. The charge made a spark when it hit the key. This showed
Franklin that lightning was electricity. He was lucky he was not killed.
Many other scientists have experimented with electricity since Benjamin Franklin found it. They learned
how to make electricity with batteries. They found that electricity would go through wires. An American
inventor named Thomas Alva Edison invented many things that use electricity, including the electric light bulb.
