Which quotation from the excerpt presents a

counterclaim to the idea that the invention of the
telephone was a triumphant event?
The story of the telephone's invention in 1876 is
one of hard work, determination, and triumph.
After all, it has a terrific happy ending in which the
hero, Alexander Graham Bell, uses his astonishing
new device to transmit the words "Mr. Watson, come
here. I want to see you."
However, the true story of how the telephone came
to be is not quite as happy as most imagine. In fact,
it is not a tale of triumph at all, but one of tragedy.
What's more, the first words ever spoken over a
wire could not possibly have been uttered by
Alexander Graham Bell, because he was only two
years old at the time.
