11 henry ford is important because
a he invented the automobile
b he was the first person to use electricity in his automobile factory
c he developed the assembly line
d he was the first businessman to install telephones in a factory

Explanation:

• For question 8, patents protect inventions, so getting the machine patented is the right way to prevent copying. Copyright is for creative works like literature, art etc., not for inventions. Filing with the bureau of weights and measures is not related to protecting an invention, and hiding blue - prints is not a legal protection method.
• For question 9, the telephone was invented in 1876, automobiles had significant developments in the late 1800s, and the airplane was invented in 1903 (late 1800s was the period of its development concepts), while television technology had more significant development later and was not invented in the late 1800s.
• For question 10, in the 1800s, the use of electricity allowed factories to run 24 hours a day as they could be powered continuously. Machines running faster was not the main effect related to electricity in the 1800s, cars running on electricity became more prominent later, and while trains could be powered by electricity, the key impact on society was factories' extended working hours.
• For question 11, Henry Ford is well - known for developing the assembly line which revolutionized the automobile manufacturing process and mass production in general. He did not invent the automobile, nor was he the first to use electricity in an automobile factory or the first to install telephones in a factory.
