Answer:

Correct answers are lever and odometer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Archimedes is known for many inventions, and among them are two mentioned in here - lever and odometer.

According to historians he invented first odometer during First Punic war, but our knowledge of it was lost until 15th Century.

Everyone heard for his famous sentence “Give me a place to stand on, and I can move the earth”. He said that as he was the one who created the famous Law of the lever.

All other options are wrong. First water mill was according to what we know invented by Philo of Byzantium.

First aqueducts appeared in ancient India.

Highways didn't existed until 20th Century.
