Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England. More theaters open their doors to the public. The Rose is built by Philip Henslowe at Southwark, not far from the bear-baiting and bull-baiting arenas, in 1587. Eight years later Francis Langley erects the Swan on a site nearby; and in 1596 Richard Burbage builds the Blackfriars Theatre, an indoor venue, although it does not open its doors until 1599. Which theater opened last? Southwark the Swan the Rose Blackfriars

Answer:

The Blackfriars Theatre

Step-by-step explanation:

The text shown shows the date when several theaters were opened. In this way we can know which theater was opened first and which was opened last. In this way, we know that the theater "The Rose" was built in 1587, and the first theater was opened, according to the text. The second theater to be opened was "The Swan" in 1595. The third and last theater to be opened, according to the text was "The Blackfriars Theater" which was built in 1596 but was opened in 1599.
