There is a lot of controversy surrounding the invention __________ (1) the telephone. Of course, Alexander Graham Bell is the father of the telephone. After all it was his design that was first __________ (2), however, he was not the first inventor to come up __________ (3) the idea of a telephone.

Antonio Meucci, an Italian immigrant, began developing the design of a talking telegraph or telephone __________ (4) 1849. In 1871, he filed a caveat (an announcement of an invention) for his design of a talking telegraph. Due to hardships, Meucci could not renew his caveat. His role in the invention of the telephone was overlooked until the United States House of Representatives __________ (5) a Resolution on June 11, 2002, honoring Meucci's contributions and work.

To make matters even more interesting, some researchers suggest that Elisha Gray, a professor at Oberlin College, applied for a caveat of the telephone on __________ (6) same day Bell applied for his patent of the telephone - these gentlemen didn’t actually visit the Patent Office, their lawyers did __________ (7) their behalf. In Historical First Patents: The First United States Patent for Many Everyday Things (Scarecrow Press, 1994), Travis Brown, reports that Bell’s lawyer got to the patent office first. The date was February 14, 1876. He was the fifth entry of that day, ___________ (8) Gray’s lawyer was 39th. Therefore, the U.S. Patent Office ___________ (9) Bell with the first patent for a telephone, US Patent Number 174,465 rather than honor Gray's caveat. _________, (10) some authors dispute this story and suggest that there was malfeasance by certain individuals at Patent Office, and possibly Bell himself.

I know that it is my job to make sure that everything goes well for the tourists and I feel I work hard for the company. I cannot be blamed for last week; I met a group at the airport and took them to the coach. The coach driver was a bit annoyed because the flight was late. But it wasn't far to the hotel and everyone was looking forward to their dinner. We hadn't used the Hotel Riviera before but our normal one had a conference in it so it was fully booked. When I announced our arrival at the reception desk, they said they were full. I had booked rooms for the group but the manager said they were cancelled by phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognised my voice and that I had made the phone call. We had a bit of an argument but they obviously didn't have enough rooms. In the end, the manager phoned hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels. By this time, the coach had

gone, so we had to get taxis and some of the tourists started to get very angry with me. I still don't know who made that phone call but it definitely wasn't me.
