Question

Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England. In 1574 the city authorities are given powers to restrict playhouses, forcing the actors to find new premises in the suburbs. This becomes a golden opportunity for John Brayne and his brother-in-law, James Burbage, who in 1576 build a new theater, simply called The Theatre, at Shoreditch, just half a mile north of Bishopsgate. The following year a second theater, the Curtain, is built just two hundred yards away. Despite some heavy opposition from Puritan preachers and moralists, both theaters are successful. Which event happened third

Answer 1

Answer: c. the Curtain, a second theater in the area, was built.

Explanation:

The first event was that the city authorities were given powers to be able to restrict playhouses which had the effect of forcing actors to find new premises to perform.

The second event was John Byrne and his brother-in-law, James Burbage, taking advantage of this restriction to build new theatres. The third event is therefore the establishment of the Curtain, another theatre that was built not too far away from the first theatre.
