Analyzing an engine |
||
Weaving a tapestry |
||
Ordering food |

Tabulating the census |
Before discussing the answer to the question let's discuss a little about Herman Hollerith and his invention.
Herman Hollerith was born in New York and did schooling in New York only. Then he did his college at Columbia University and then started his job. His first contribution was a tabulating machine which he has designed for the US Army.
After that US Census Bureau adopted his tabulating system to perform tabulating work of American taxpayers and you won't believe the Herman machine was this much efficient that it did all work in just 2 years for which manual tabulating would have taken 8 years.
After this success, Herman formed his own company and started manufacturing his own tabulating machines to sell in the market. Later on, the company was named as International Business Machines(IBM).
So basically Herman Hollerith applied the principles of the Jacquard loom for Tabulating the census and the made the process of tabulation more efficient
So option 4 which is Tabulating the census is the correct answer for the question.
