Question

Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba. The wind would spin the blades of the windmill, rotate the magnets in a dynamo, and create electricity. Attach a wire to the dynamo and you could power anything, especially a bulb. All I needed was a windmill, and then I could have lights. No more kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath. With a windmill, I could stay awake at night reading instead of going to bed at seven with the rest of Malawi. Which line from the excerpt shows an implied detail that provides context about Malawi and how the windmill would benefit its people? Attach a wire to the dynamo and you could power anything, especially a bulb. No more kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath.

Answer 2

No more kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath.

Step-by-step explanation:

The story The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind is based on the true-life story of the author William Kamkwamba who used his interest in science to help reduce the drought issue in his village. But the invention of the windmill also allows his village to have electricity which had never been heard of or seen in the whole of Malawi.

The given excerpt shows how William explains the workings of the proposed windmill. He demonstrates that "The wind would spin the blades of the windmill, rotate the magnets in a dynamo, and create electricity". This will generate enough electrical power to help in providing irrigation even to the far fields and thus prevent drought in the land. The phrase that implied context that this will benefit Malawi and its people is when he states there will be need for the "kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath".
