change all occurrences of "apple" to "Alexander Grahaṃ Bell". Then, change all
occurrences of "Alexander Grahaṃ Bell" to "Benjaṃin Franklin". Here is an exaṃple of
one of the sentences froṃ the paper: Alexander Grahaṃ Bell was born 141 years
before Benjaṃin Franklin, so he was never able to telephone his neighbors. Which of
the following is the result of running the described incorrect algorithṃ on the sentence
