Which line from the excerpt expresses fact rather than opinion?
Read the excerpt from the introduction for "On Becoming
an Inventor" by Dean Kamen
Invention is predominantly individualistic. Everything...
comes from the lone worker who follows the fleeting
inspiration of a moment and finally does something that
has not been done before.
This quote is from the inventor of a three-phase motor,
Nikola Tesla. It fits the description in every respect of
Dean Kamen, the owner of more than one hundred
patents
As a young teenager in Rockville Center, New York, one
of four children, whose father was a comic book artist
and his mother a schoolteacher, Dean started tinkering
with sound and light boxes in his bedroom, which
caused lights to go off and on, and deafening sound to
come from his radio," said his mother.
"Everything...comes from the lone worker who
follows the fleeting inspiration of a moment and finally
does something that has not been done before."
It fits the description in every respect of Dean Kamen,
the owner of more than one hundred patents.
Their indulgent parents allowed Dean and his older
brother Barton to experiment...
This led to his first patent and a sizable financial
reward while still in high school
