Read the text and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.
At the Paris Exposition in 1900, Fuller had her own theater, where, in addition to her own dances, she presented pantomimes by the Japanese actress Sada Yocco. She assembled an all-female company at this time and established a school around 1908, but neither survived her. Although she is remembered today chiefly for her innovations in stage lighting, her activities also touched Isadora Duncan and Ruth St. Denis, two other United States dancers who were experimenting with new types of dance. She sponsored Duncan's first appearance in Europe. Her theater at the Paris Exposition was visited by St. Denis, who found new ideas about stagecraft in Fuller’s work and fresh sources for her art in Sada Yocco’s plays. In 1924 St. Denis paid tribute to Fuller with the duet Valse ala Loie.

Option 1: "It presented some works that were not by Fuller."

Explanation: The text states that Fuller presented pantomimes by the Japanese actress Sada Yocco in her theater, indicating that her theater showcased works not solely created by her. This aligns with the main idea that Fuller’s theater was a platform for various performances, not just her own.

Option 2: "It featured performances by prominent male as well as female dancers."

Explanation: The text specifically mentions that Fuller assembled an all-female company, which implies that there were no male dancers featured in her theater. Therefore, this option contradicts the information provided in the text.

Option 3: "It became a famous school that is still named in honor of Fuller."

Explanation: The text mentions that Fuller established a school around 1908, which indicates that her theater contributed to educational efforts in dance. Although the school did not survive her, the connection to her legacy is clear, supporting the idea that it became known in her honor.

Option 4: "There was no any type of dance form."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text explicitly discusses Fuller's theater presenting dances and pantomimes, indicating that various dance forms were indeed part of the performances. Thus, the statement contradicts the information provided.
