One of the rescue workers has a special flashlight; it has a crank, and the light shines when the crank is turned.
Since the rescue worker has never had to replace the batteries or plug in the flashlight, she thinks this flashlight works without an energy source. Do you agree or disagree?

I think the flashlight ...
I think this because . . .
