Answer 1

Richard's invention works so well because it uses a combination of sound and light to scare away the lions without harming them. The invention produces a loud noise and a bright light that startles the lions and causes them to flee. This is supported by the text which states, "The invention was a combination of sound and light that startled the lions and made them run away without harming them."
