Question

read the excerpt from the time travelers guide to elizabethan england
more theaters open their doors to the public. the rose is built by philip henslowe at southwark, not far from the bear - baiting and bull - baiting arenas, in 1587. eight years later francis langley erects the swan on a site nearby, and in 1596 richard burbage builds the blackfriars theatre, an indoor venue, although it does not open its doors until 1599
which theater opened last?
southwark
the swan
the rose
blackfriars

Explanation:

The Rose opened in 1587. The Swan opened 8 years later (1587 + 8 = 1595). Blackfriars opened in 1599. Among these, 1599 is the latest year, so Blackfriars opened last. Southwark is a location, not a theater name in the options.

Answer:

Blackfriars
