Explanation:

Question 1

During the Industrial Revolution, inventions related to converting heat to motion (like steam engines) were crucial. The word "motion" fits as machines turned heat into mechanical motion.

Ships were previously powered by wind - blown sails (using wind energy). The improved steam engine replaced this wind - driven power source.

Coal is a fossilized form of carbon - rich plant material over time. The word "carbon" is the base element related to coal's formation.

Answer:

motion
