Question

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? other inventions of c. francis jenkins and thomas armat where dover beach is why edison considered projected films to be the next logical step

Explanation:

The paragraph focuses on the development of motion picture projectors, specifically Edison's Vitascope. The first sentence mentions that Edison and other researchers realized projected films were the next step. Adding the reason why Edison considered projected films the next logical step would expand on this initial statement and provide more context for the subsequent information about the Vitascope.

• The other inventions of C. Francis Jenkins and Thomas Armat are not relevant as the paragraph is about the Vitascope's connection to their work for the motion - picture projector, not their other inventions.
• Where Dover Beach is has no bearing on the main topic of motion - picture projector development.

Answer:

why Edison considered projected films to be the next logical step
