Question

Movie Theater History by Jessica Abbott, Professor of History Today, we take going to the movies for granted, but when theaters first appeared many years ago, they offered a novel experience to people of all ages. Countless people flocked to movie theaters, and the addition of sound to films led to a “golden age” for cinemas. Film grew more sophisticated over time. Sound was added after a few decades, and color was added too, which made movies even more popular. Some early color films are still considered classics today.

Answer 1

The best analysis of the credibility of this source would be: **This source may not be credible because the author uses vague language.**

The passage does provide some historical context about the development of movie theaters, but it lacks specific details or evidence that could strengthen its credibility. Using vague terms like "many years ago," "countless people," and "some early color films" without specific examples or dates can make the information appear less reliable.
