Declan Davidson · Answer 2

The statement which is not true of Watt is that D. he exported steam technology to the United States. That never happened, which is why it makes it the incorrect option among these ones. He did build a piston-driven steam engine, thus giving a bost to Britain's industrial revolution, by producing steam engines that could power all kinds of machines. But what he didn't do is import his important technology to another continent.
