8 Complete the text with the appropriate forms of the words in the asterisks.
Today you can use your telephone to speak to someone on another continent. Without the cables that (1) are at the bottom of the ocean, (2) connecting all the continents, this is impossible. The (3) first problem that (4) was solved in connection with cables was to insulate wire so that electricity does not escape. After many experiments new materials (5) were discovered that could (6) be wrapped around the cable to insulate it.
Then men began to lay cables under water. In 1857 they did the (7) most difficult thing: they connected the USA and Ireland with a submarine cable. The cable (8) broke several times while being laid. Finally, on August 13, 1858, the (9) first message crossed the ocean by means of this cable. Thus a new age in communication was born.
