Question

6 the peephole kinetoscope was a success, but edison and other researchers realized that projected films were the next step in motion picture development. the first commercially successful american motion picture projector was called edisons vitascope. drawing from the work of inventors c. francis jenkins and thomas armat, the vitascope launched the era of projected film in the united states. when the vitascope premiered in new york city in 1896, the hit film of the evening was titled rough sea at dover, made by englishman robert paul. so realistic was the view of waves crashing on dover beach that people in the front rows actually shrank back in their seats, fearful of getting wet. which of the following would be most relevant to add to the sixth paragraph? why edison considered projected films to be the next logical step other inventions of c. francis jenkins and thomas armat why the kinetophone failed to produce successful talking motion pictures

Explanation:

The paragraph is about the development of projected films, starting from the peephole kinetoscope's success and Edison's realization. It then focuses on Edison's Vitascope, its origin (from Jenkins and Armat's work), and its premiere. The first option about why Edison considered projected films the next step directly relates to the initial statement in the paragraph. The second option about other inventions of Jenkins and Armat is off - topic as the paragraph only mentions their work relevant to the Vitascope. The third option about the kinetophone is also off - topic as the paragraph is about projected films (not talking motion pictures).

Answer:

why Edison considered projected films to be the next logical step
