ANSWER: B) The Archimedean screw

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

The Archimedean Screw is a tool used to pump out water from low-laid water bodies to elevated irrigation places. The tool was invented by Archimedes sometime in the 3rd century.

The Archimedean screw is also known as the water screw, screw pump, and Archimedes' screw. The screw is also used to pump grains, sewage, solid or liquid substances from low places to elevated places.

This ancient Greek technology is still used today. Thus the correct answer is option B.

Answer 2

The Greeks invented the B) The Archimedean screw and it is still in use today.

The classical Greeks invented the Archimedean screw which:

• transfers water from a lower area to a higher area through the use of screws which rotate to carry the water from the lower area to the higher one.
• creates electricity when connected to a gearbox in the right manner

Of course the Greeks did not know that the screw could be used to generate electricity but when they designed it to irrigate fields by seemingly defying gravity, it was still a major invention.

In conclusion, the Archimedean screw was so useful an invention that it is still used today both for irrigation and to produce electricity.
