garage, a creative crucible in which, arguably, American inventiveness is born and
flourishes to this day.

Iconic - very famous
Take root – begin to grow

• Early battlefield hospitals were unimaginably primitive. Because there was no
antiseptic, germs were rampant. Because there was no anesthetic, wounded

an idiom that’s evolved to mean forcing yourself to do something you don’t want to.

• Antiseptic - anti bacteria liquid
