What did Sir Sandford Fleming invent?
The radio
The telephone
The worldwide system of standard time zones
The snowmobile
The correct answer is: The worldwide system of standard time zones
Sir Sandford Fleming did not invent the radio or the telephone. Both of those inventions are credited to other individuals, such as Guglielmo Marconi for the radio and Alexander Graham Bell for the telephone. Sir Sandford Fleming also did not invent the snowmobile. That invention is credited to Joseph-Armand Bombardier. The correct answer, C, is the worldwide system of standard time zones, which Sir Sandford Fleming proposed in 1879. This system divides the world into 24 time zones, with each zone being one hour ahead or behind the neighboring zone. This standardization of time greatly improved communication and travel efficiency.
