B. Read the following passage and mark the letter A. B. C or D on your answer sheet to

There are thousands of other inventions that have contributed to the lives of humans
across millennia. Many of these inventions have even benefited animals and other living
species. The reason behind every invention is the need for it.
The main quality of an inventor is his or her ability to see what others are not able to
see. While most of us see a blue sky, some are able to see the patterns in the sky which leads
them to investigate more. Another important quality of an inventor is his or her desire to find
a solution to a problem. They keep abreast with the difficulties faced by human beings and
focus on resolving them.
Many of the inventors we have mentioned above were not recognized by their
teachers nor their peers. They often had eccentric personalities and maintained unusual
routines. For example, Albert Einstein was not comfortable with the teaching methods in his
school and preferred to teach himself complex subjects such as mathematics and algebra. He
dressed eccentrically and kept an unusual hairstyle and was often ridiculed for his views.
However, his uniqueness is what led him to change the way we approach the philosophy of
science and brought about the groundbreaking theory of relativity.
 Inventions are any new discoveries that change the way we view our world. They can
occur in art, sciences, tools, machines, society, and even thoughts. Any process, composition,
device, or method that expands the limits of human knowledge, creativity, experience, or
capability is called an invention and can be brought about by any human who dares to think
out of the box.
