Put sentence 5 before sentence 1.

Answer 1

(1) The origin of motion pictures began as early as 1867, when Eadweard Muybridge and J.D. Isaacs took a series of photographs proving that horses lift all four feet off the ground when galloping for an instant. (2) In the 1880s, Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope became all the rage in penny arcades, and in the 1890s, French and American inventors developed the first projection machines. (3) By the 1910s, going to the movies was a major pastime, and Hollywood’s screens lit up with the faces of stars such as Lillian Gish, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and Douglas Fairbanks. (4) The first movie theater opened in 1902 in Los Angeles and it charged five cents so they called it a nickelodeon. (5) As the nickelodeon gained in popularity, clever directors devised new ways of telling stories, such as editing, or “cutting,” strips of film to create narrative scenes, and using sets and special effects. (6) The era of mass entertainment was under way!

Answer 2

Wow, that took me a while to figure out. It's B, put 3 after 5, cause no. 4 is in 1902, and no. 3 is 1910s

Answer 3

Ohh, haha that makes sense. I didn't catch that. Thank you!

Answer 4

Your welcome :)

Answer 5

Do you have any idea to what the possible answer is for this question?

Which of the following is an important belief held by Romantic poets?

Reason is a better way to truth than imagination.

Children are innocent and therefore closer to nature than adults are.

Poetry and art are enjoyable but have little impact on the real world.

Industrialization brought only improvements to human life.

Answer 6

I'm guessing B, since poets like Woodsworth and Blake spoke of innocence disappearing as people grew from childhood, turning them corrupt and unable to appreciate nature. They're poets, so they love the imagination, write by it, so A is out. They write poetry to share their emotions and inform the world, so C is out. And they usually disapproved of industry since it took away nature, so D is out as well. That leaves B :)

Answer 7

Great, thanks!
