Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba. The wind would spin the blades of the windmill, rotate the magnets in a dynamo, and create electricity. Attach a wire to the dynamo and you could power anything, especially a bulb. All I needed was a windmill, and then I could have lights. No more kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath. With a windmill, I could stay awake at night reading instead of going to bed at seven with the rest of Malawi. Which line from the excerpt shows an implied detail that provides context about Malawi and how the windmill would benefit its people?

Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
The correct answer is the line "No more kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath" which shows an implied detail that provides context about Malawi and how the windmill would benefit its people.
It is evident from the given excerpt that the people of Malawi still use kerosene, or it is one of the main sources, to generate light of some sort. This usage has its ill effects, like the burning sensation in the eye or the gasping for air due to the fumes of kerosene. This detail helps us understand that the author is trying to find a alternative for producing clean light so that the people of Malawi do not have to rely on the usage of kerosene. Therefore, the author talks about usage of windmill and its many benefits over the kerosene. Hence, the line "No more kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath" implies the benefits of using windmill over kerosene.
