A6-2 Question VIII: Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each
question. (10 points)
When the typewriter was first invented, its keys were arranged alphabetically. This made the
keys easy to find. However, this arrangement also caused the bars of the machine to jam, or get
stuck.
To solve this problem, a new letter arrangement was introduced by Christopher Latham Scholes
in 1872. His system, the standard keyboard system, is still used on keyboards today. He arranged
the letters in such a way that the bars hit the inked ribbon from opposite directions as much as
possible. This resulted in far less jamming than had occurred with the alphabetical models.
