Why this is the answer
The official list names seven American innovations: the light bulb, the automobile with its internal combustion engine, the skyscraper, the airplane, the assembly line, the landing on the moon and the integrated circuit. The moon landing is the one the study guide tells about: in 1969 the United States became the first country to land a person on the moon, while it and the Soviet Union were competing to send rockets into space. Name any one. Memory hook: American innovations, from the light bulb to the moon landing.
