Câu 6 : Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions.

ANIMATION

The theory of the animated cartoon was introduced before the invention of the cinema by half a
century. When working to create conversation pieces for Victorian shops, people discovered the
principle of persistence of vision. If drawings of the stages of an action were shown in fast
succession, the human eye would perceive them as a continuous movement.

One of the first commercially successful devices, invented by the Belgian Joseph Plateau in
1832, was the phenakistoscope, a spinning cardboard disk that created the illusion of
movement when viewed in a mirror, in 1834, William Horner invented the zoetrope, a rotating
drum lined by a band of pictures. The Frenchman Émile Reynaud in 1876 adapted the principle
into a form that could be projected before a theatrical audience. Reynaud became not only
animation’s first entrepreneur but also the first artist to give personality and warmth to his
animated characters.
