Hi, I'm not sure about the answer but I say it is E. Can you explain this? Thanks.
"In 1891, American Inventor Thomas Edison built a machine called the Kinetoscope to show films shot by his Kinetograph, which was one of the first movie cameras. It was the first successful moving-picture machine, atlhough only one person at a time could view through an eyepiece as the sequence of photographs on a strip of film wound passed. Just four years later, in 1895, two brothers, Auguste and Louis Lumiere, gave the first public cinema show in a cafe in Paris. The movies showed scenes of everyday life in the city. Until around the start of the 21st century, film was the primary method for recording and protecting movies. Thousands of photographs called frames were recorded on a long roll of photographic film. The frames were taken in quick succession by a movie camera. A revolving shutter inside the camera opened to let light hit the film, creating the image for a frame. Then it closed and the film was moved into position for the next frame. This sequence was repeated again and again to photograph 24 frames every second until a whole reel of film was made."
Which of the following is true about the movie camera?
A- It was patented by Thomas Edison 1891
B- Its rights were sold to Auguste and Louis Lumiere
C- It was invented around the start of the 21st century
D- It was not able to let light hit the film
E- It recorded a huge number of frames on a photographic film.
C and D are obviously wrong from general knowledge. A and B are plausible on the face of it, but does the text actually say anything about patents and rights?
