Решение 2.

1. Which of these inventions came first?
Какое из этих изобретений появилось первым?

Ответ:

The pencil.

Карандаш.

(My reasoning: While primitive forms of toothpaste existed anciently, the modern pencil (graphite enclosed in wood) became widespread in the 16th-18th centuries. Lawnmower (1830s), modern swimming pools (19th century) are later. Primitive swimming pools existed earlier, but the question asks about "inventions" alongside specific items, making the pencil a strong candidate for earliest modern form among the choices. However, after re-checking, toothpaste has a much longer history, dating back to 5000 BC with early forms. The pencil, in its modern form, is from the 16th century. So, "toothpaste" is a better answer for "came first" if considering the very earliest concepts/forms.)

The correct answer is b toothpaste.
