statement in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following
passage. Although French, German, American and British
pioneers have all been credited with the invention of cinema, the British and
the Germans played a relatively small role in its worldwide exploitation. It was
above all the French, followed closely by the Americans, who were the most
passionate exporters of the new invention, helping to start cinema in China,
Japan, Latin America and Russia. In terms of artistic development it was again
the French and the Americans who took the lead, though in the years before the
First World War, Italy, Denmark and Russia also played a part.
In the end it was the United States that was to become, and remain, the
largest single market for films. By protecting their own market and pursuing a
vigorous export policy, the Americans achieved a dominant position on the world
market by the start of the First World War. The centre of film-making had moved
westwards, to Hollywood, and it was films from these new Hollywood studios that
flooded onto the world's film markets in the years after the First World War,
and have done so ever since. Faced with total Hollywood domination, few film
industries proved competitive. The Italian industry, which had pioneered the
feature film with spectacular films like Quo Vadis? (1913) and Cabiria (1914),
almost collapsed. In Scandinavia, the Swedish cinema had a brief period of
glory, notably with powerful epic films and comedies. Even the French cinema
found itself in a difficult position. In Europe, only Germany proved
industrially capable, while in the new Soviet Union and in Japan, the
development of the cinema took place in conditions of commercial
isolation. Hollywood took the lead artistically as well as
industrially. Hollywood films appealed because they had better-constructed
narratives, their special effects were more impressive, and the star system
added a new dimension to screen acting. If Hollywood did not have enough of its
own resources, it had a great deal of money to buy up artists and technical
innovations from Europe to ensure its continued dominance over present or future
competition. From early cinema, it was only American slapstick
comedy that successfully developed in both short and feature format. However,
during this "Silent Film" era, animation, comedy, serials and dramatic features
continued to thrive, along with factual films or documentaries, which acquired
an increasing distinctiveness as the period progressed. It was also at this time
that the avant-garde film first achieved commercial success, this time thanks
almost exclusively to the French and the occasional German film.
Of the countries which developed and maintained distinctive national
cinemas in the silent period, the most important were France, Germany and the
Soviet Union. Of these, the French displayed the most continuity, in spite
of the war and post-war economic uncertainties. The German cinema, relatively
insignificant in the pre-war years, exploded on to the world scene after 1919.
Yet even they were both overshadowed by the Soviets after the 1917 Revolution.
They turned their back on the past, leaving the style of the pre-war Russian
cinema to the Emigres who fled westwards to escape the Revolution.
The other countries whose cinemas changed dramatically are: Britain, which
had an interesting but undistinguished history in the silent period; Italy,
which had a brief moment of international fame just before the war; the
Scandinavian countries, particularly Denmark, which played a role in the
development of silent cinema quite out of proportion to their small population ;
and Japan, where a cinema developed based primarily on traditional theatrical
and, to a lesser extent, other art forms and only gradually adapted to western
influence.
