    Wankel alongside some friends run had already run an unofficial after work machine shop in the backyard shed in Heidelberg since?

    • 1933

    • 1924

    • 1930

    • 1925

    Correct Answer
    A. 1924
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1924. This can be inferred from the given sentence which states that Wankel and his friends had already been running an unofficial machine shop since a certain year. The sentence does not mention any specific year, but it implies that the machine shop had been running for some time before the sentence takes place. Since the sentence is in the past tense, it can be inferred that the machine shop started before 1933, 1930, and 1925. Therefore, the only possible answer is 1924.
