I am trying to put a short passage in Japanese into English and the following is what I have made.

If you were to tell, ( ), an elementary school child that refrigerators used to be made of wood and did not use electricity, they would probably not believe you. They would say without electricity refrigerators couldn�t have worked.

For the blank, above, I wrote #1(say). I�m wondering if #2(for example) is also OK there.
1. say
2. for example

What do you think?

They are both OK.
