How Strong is Your Electricity IQ?
Which of the following was not used for lighting before the advent of electricity?
Correct Incorrect Before the advent of electricity, people relied on animal fat, oil, and wax candles for lighting. Wealthier individuals used wax candles and oil lamps, while those with fewer resources often used tallow candles or rush lights dipped in animal fat. The invention of the flashlight came in the 1890s, and the widespread use of electricity in homes didn’t become common until the late 19th century.
