Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #34356 Paris Exposition
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
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 àla Loie.

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

Explanation: The text states that in Fuller's theater, she presented pantomimes by the Japanese actress Sada Yocco in addition to her own dances. This clearly indicates that the theater showcased works not solely created by Fuller, thus supporting the correctness of this option.

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 for her theater, which means there were no male dancers featured in the performances. Therefore, this option is incorrect as it contradicts the information provided.

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

Explanation: The text indicates that Fuller established a school around 1908, but it states that neither her theater nor the school survived her. This means that the school did not become famous or continue to exist in her honor, making this option incorrect.

Option 4: "It ceased to operate as a theater after Fuller died."

Explanation: The text does not mention that the theater ceased operations specifically after Fuller's death. It only states that neither her theater nor her school survived her, which does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship regarding her death. Thus, this option is misleading and incorrect.
