Question

Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England.

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. Most important of all, Shakespeare, Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, and their partners dismantle The Theatre and remove its beams to a new site at Southwark, where it is rebuilt in 1599 as the Globe. When Edward Alleyn builds the Fortune on the northern edge of the city in 1600, the array of Elizabethan theaters is complete.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The author showed this by listing in chronological order when several important theaters were built

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to the question is the last option.

Looking at the excerpt, we can see that the author tries to give several examples of theaters that were built. He did this by listing the theaters one after the other using the years they were built and also the individuals who are at the helm of affairs in bringing these theaters to life.

By making an example of year after year, we can irrevocably agree that what the author has done is to give a historical timeline of the years of the establishment of the theaters in a fashion indicating that he chose them from the oldest to the most recent indicating a chronological arrangement of years of establishment
