X Read the passage.
Guglielmo Marconi is the person who generally gets the credit for inventing the radio. He
began experimenting with wireless communication in the attic of his father’s villa in Italy. In
1895, he sent a wireless signal one and one-half miles. Marconi found that England was
interested in his discovery. They hoped to use it for communication with ships at sea. So, in
1896, Marconi moved to England and began his Wireless Communication and Signal
Company. By 1899, he was able to send a signal across the English Channel, a distance of 31
miles. At the same time, an inventor in the United States, Nikola Tesla, was also
experimenting with wireless communication. As early as 1893, he had experimented with the
technology and conducted demonstrations and lectures on the subject. Unfortunately, his
progress was slowed when a fire destroyed his laboratory.
