On a rainy summer morning in 1896, with his wife watching

enthusiastically, a thirty-three-year-old engineer for the Edison Illuminating
Company in Detroit, Michigan, took his quadricycle for its first ride. Henry
Ford was a farm boy who later turned into engineer. He knocked down the
bricks surrounding his shop’s narrow entrance as he realized the way was
narrow for his new horseless carriage. The carrier he created using the
 principles of four cylinders, brakeless box on wheels was looking very
ridiculous. He constructed it in his spare time. At twelve, a year later, he
built a first full size car designed for the masses. It was named as Model T.
This incredibly strong, inexpensive and reliable vehicle was built by the Ford
Motor Company founded in 1903. Henry Ford founded his company with
the twenty-eight thousand dollars taken from a local coal dealer.

Within a year of manufacturing the Model T cars, there were ten

thousand of them on the roads. The company produced the cars so rapidly
that by 1920, one out of the two cars in the world was a Ford car. He had
succeeded far beyond what he might have thought he could. Hardly a few
years after Introducing Model T, the company was producing one car every
three minutes. Ford improved its production methods that Model T’s price
came down from nine hundred dollars to five hundred dollars. The success
of the car was so huge that Ford became a billionaire and his cheap car
began to transform the physical, social and economic fabric of American life.

It was available for a mere $290 by 1924, the Model T rapidly changed
rural America, bringing the newspaper, prosperity, and the world to a
farmer’s doorstep. It put an end to rural isolation. It expanded a commercial
networks, took the city dweller to the villages. Within a few decades,
highway networks were created. The automobile changed the land and how
Americans worked and played.

b. Give a synonym for the word 'prosperity'?

c. What did Model T car achieve by 1920?

d. What impact did Ford car create in America?

b) Wealth, affluence, profitability, plenty, luxury or any other synonym may

be given a mark.

the roads. The company produced so rapidly that by 1920 0ne out of the
two cars in the world was a Ford car.

villages to cities and changed the land and how Americans worked and
played.
