Discussion
Consider the following pairs :
| Inventions | Inventers |
|---|---|
| 1) Flying Shuttle | John Key |
| 2) Spinning Jenny | Ely Whitney |
| 3) Automatic Loom | Edmund Cartwright |
Which of the pairs given above is correctly matched ?
Answer: C
Pairs 1 and 3 are correct, so the answer is 1 and 3 only.
The flying shuttle was invented by John Kay (spelt 'John Key' in the paper) in 1733, and the power loom by Edmund Cartwright in 1785.
The spinning jenny was invented by James Hargreaves around 1764. Eli Whitney ('Ely Whitney') invented the cotton gin in 1793, so pair 2 is wrong and every option that includes it is wrong.
