Answer 1

To evaluate which statement is true about the movie industry in Hollywood, we can break them down:

1. It generates an estimated $100 billion dollars per year, as of 2016. - The film industry as a whole (not exclusively Hollywood) could reach around this figure, but it can be quite variable depending on the year.

2. It employs an estimated 1.9 million people, as of 2016. - This number seems high when considering just Hollywood and the film industry; it might encompass a broader category including related jobs.

3. Cheap land and temperate weather first lured movie makers to the area. - This is historically accurate; the early film industry moved to Southern California for its favorable weather and variety of landscapes.

4. All of these statements are true. - Given the uncertainty around the first two statements, this is unlikely to be correct.

Based on historical context, the third statement about cheap land and temperate weather is true.
