Explanation:

• For question 3: Minstrel shows had a significant influence on various forms of entertainment, inspiring skits and stereotypical character portrayals in radio, television, cartoon, and Broadway productions. There is no historical evidence that they led to the invention of motion - picture cameras. While they had racist elements, it's more about the entertainment format's influence rather than directly encouraging the publication of racist books. And they did not keep Blacks out of performing arts; in fact, Black performers later reclaimed and transformed some of these forms.
• For question 4:
• In minstrel shows, characters often flapped their arms while singing "Jump Jim Crow" as part of the stereotypical performance.
• The term "Jim Crow" became a derogatory term used for Blacks and segregation laws.
• Minstrel performer Thomas Dartmouth Rice "Daddy Rice" made the song nationally popular. The song did not have origins in an old African folktale poking fun at enslavers (it was a racist caricature). Also, it was not the finale for every minstrel show.
