It may be hard to believe, but the modern elevator is close to 150 years old. The first elevators were produced in the mid 1800s. They raised and lowered their cars using a system of hydraulic pumps, but this was inherently dangerous because there was nothing to prevent a collapse of the elevator if the pumps failed. Then Elisha Otis invented the first safety elevator in 1852. Otis’ elevator prevented the car from falling in case of an error. Elisha Otis is considered to be the father of the modern elevator because of his work in designing elevators.
Otis’ first passenger elevator was installed in a building in New York City in 1857. In 1880, a German company invented the first electric elevator. This breakthrough allowed companies to build elevators that only required access to electricity. They were more compact because they did not require big pumps. Electric elevators were safer and were similar to an elevator you might use today.
At the beginning of the 20th century, trained professionals were needed to operate elevators. These workers would dock the lift on the appropriate floor. They would also announce which businesses or offices were on a floor. An elevator that allowed a passenger to press a button and move the elevator to the selected floor would not be invented until the 1950s.
The true benefit of this invention can be seen in large cities like New York City or London, where people live and work inside tall buildings. Elevators allow quick and easy access between floors. In these busy buildings, hundreds of people might exit or enter an elevator at any given second. Moving around tall buildings wouldn’t be the same without such an efficient and necessary invention!

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives a subtle hint of what is to come later in the story. Can you identify an example of foreshadowing from the beginning of “The Monkey’s Paw” that suggests making wishes on the paw will lead to tragedy?
Answer:
The Sergeant Major who gave Mr. White and his wife the talisman warned them about previous owners who befell bad fates. The first man in possession of the talisman wished for death, though the Sergeant did not say exactly if it came true or not.

Read each sentence. Circle the complete subject. Underline the complete predicate.
I read about the extra traffic that creates problems during the winter
what is the answer? Please tell me!!!!!
Answer:
Circle - I read about the extra traffic
Underline - creates problems during winter
Explanation:
Hope it helps... if yes, plz mark me as brainliest
Circle the complete subject that is, I read about the extra traffic and Underline the complete predicate that is, creates problems during winter.
What is subject?In a sentence, the subject indicates what or whom the phrase is about.
What is a predicate?The predicate in a sentence tells us about the information about the subject in the sentence.
Because the subject in a sentence tells the story of what or whom the sentence is about. And the predicate in a sentence tells us about the information about the subject in the sentence. In the given sentence, the circle subject, that is what or whom the sentence is about, I read about the extra traffic, and the underline predicate is the additional information about the subject, that is, it creates problems during winter. Thus, the circle subject, that is, I read about the extra traffic, and the underline predicate, that is, it causes problems during the winter.
Hence the correct answer is, Circle the complete subject that is, I read about the extra traffic and Underline the complete predicate that is, creates problems during winter.
