Hi and welcome to QuestionCove!

All of the sentences in the paragraphs contain facts, and some of them contain examples or statistics. 
I would say that " Two of his most well-known inventions are the light bulb and the phonograph." contains an example, since the light bulb and phonograph are examples of Edison's inventions.
The sentence " He had obtained 1,093 patents by the time he died." contains a statistic, because it is a fact based on numbers.

Depending on which sentence is underlined, your answer may be different. Feel free to include this information if you'd like more detailed feedback :)
