Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Up to about 1915, movies were shot and programs were made up of several works. Then, D.W.Griffith and others began to make longer films that provided the same powerful emotional appeal as did melodrama and presented spectacles far beyond what the theater could offer. Consequently, after World War I increasing numbers of spectators deserted the theater for the movies.

This trend was accelerated in the late 1920s as a result of two new elements. In 1927 sound was added to the previously silent film, and thus one of the theater's principal claims to superiority vanished. In 1929, a serious economic depression began. Since audiences could go to the movies for a fraction of what it cost to see a play, theater going became a luxury that few could afford, especially as the depression deepened. By the end of World War II, the American theater had been reduced to about thirty theaters in New York City and a small number of touring companies originating there.

One thing that movies could do better than the theater was to _________.

A. provide longer programs.
B. provide emotional appeal.
C. provide more melodrama.
D. provide greater spectacles.

Lời giải

Đáp án: D

Giải thích:

- “the year ago” ở đây ý muốn nói đến “năm trước năm 1984”

- Tuy nhiên, “ago” chỉ thời gian đã qua (1 năm trước, 2 năm trước…) và thường dùng “a year ago” chứ không dùng “the year ago”

- Before (adv): trước đó

=> sửa “ago” thành “before”

Dịch: Năm 1984, dân số thế giới tăng lên hơn 4,7 tỷ người, tăng gần 85 triệu so với ước tính năm trước đó.
