Hello Everyone!
Request your help in understanding Q5. of this passage - Link
Why is the answer to this B?
The author suggests that Griffith’s contributions to the cinema had which of the following results?
I. Literary works, especially Victorian novels, became popular sources for film subjects.
II. Audience appreciation of other film directors’ experimentations with cinematic syntax was increased.
III. Many of the artistic limitations thought to be inherent in filmmaking were shown to be really nonexistent.
(A) II only
(B) III only
(C) I and II only
(D) II and III only
(E) I, II, and III
Can you highlight in the passage where it shows that Victorian novels became popular source or Audience appreciation was increased
I agree these two cannot be inferred from the passage.
Reason:
- It doesn’t mention anywhere that Victorian Novels became popular sources of film subjects
- It only mentions that ‘Griffith persisted and experimented as well with other elements of cinematic syntax that have become standard ever since’ - this does not mean that the ‘appreciation increased’.
But how can we infer III? How do I infer that limitations became non-existent?
Isn’t what the whole passage is all about that before Griffith we threw some people before camera and that was it but after him we got a lot of new things (like the sentence in the 2nd para that says it became the standard ever since) etc. Like each para is highlighting how revolutionary was this guy
Here are the clues(each para is mentioning how he broke the old barriers and introduced something new):
Okay - got it! Thank you for your help
