Answer 1

Whitcomb Judson created the zipper in 1893, Richard A. Drew invented masking tape in 1925, but he did not invent clear tape.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements A) Whitcomb Judson created the zipper in 1893 and C) In 1925, Richard A. Drew invented masking tape are both true.

Drew worked for the 3M Company of Michigan, and in 1925, he invented masking tape, which was an important invention for various applications including painting and labeling.

However, statement D) Drew also invented clear tape in 1930 is false.

Drew did not invent clear tape; that invention is often credited to Richard Gurley Drew, who invented Scotch tape in the 1930s.
