Question

The first washing machine came along in the mid-1800s. It was very different from today's machines. Here's how it worked: You'd put the soap, water, and clothes into a wooden box. Then, you'd turn a crank by hand to stir the water. The clothes got moved around in the water so dirt would come out.

Which is the best summary of this paragraph?
A The first washing machine cleaned clothes by turning them in water.
B The first washing machine used a wooden box to hold the clothes.
C The first washing machine worked by turning a hand crank.
D The first washing machine got dirt out of clothes

You question states, " The first washing machine came along in the mid-1800s." That means that the washing machine back then is completely different from the ones from this year in time. So the best summary of this paragraph is the way the washing machine worked.
