Answer
a. **FALSE** – The text explicitly states that people often say 'Daylight Saving Time' instead of 'summer time.' The phrasing is reversed in the statement.
b. **TRUE** – The passage mentions that Benjamin Franklin wrote the essay *An Economical Project* in 1784, proposing the idea of daylight saving.
c. **NOT GIVEN** – The text does not provide any information about Sir Robert Pearce or his role in passing a bill in 1909.
d. **FALSE** – The U.S. Congress passed the Standard Time Act in **1918**, not 1919. The text clearly states this date.
e. **TRUE** – The passage confirms that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act of 1966 into law, making it official.
