A student has written a draft paragraph from her research on automobiles, but the paragraph is overly broad. Read the paragraph.
Henry Ford is understandably one of the most important figures in transportation history. His Model T car was the beginning of an entire lifestyle focused on driving. Cars can now be found all over the world. Every one of them, from compact cars to giant SUVs, are thanks to Ford. The Model T originally sold for only $850. The first production plant was in
Detroit, Michigan, and the first car rolled off the assembly line in 1908. The assembly line was another of Ford’s major contributions. To reduce the cost of making the cars, he
created a system where people were responsible for building one part of the car. That part then moved along a conveyor belt where the next person would add his part. This system
of specialized assembly continues today in plants across many different industries.
