Question

the origins of cinema
one hundred years ago, cinema—a word that can mean movies in general or a movie theater—was a far more obscure form of entertainment. in the early days, movies were only beginning to enter the mainstream of american culture, and what they showed were almost non - existent. this short history makes cinema a relatively new medium, or form of expression. before the advent of film, almost all entertainment and literary expression was done through newspapers, books, and plays.
eventually, movies would offer a more universal form of expression, one that could transcend time, space, and linguistic and cultural differences.
read the sentence from paragraph 1.
eventually, movies would offer a more universal form of expression, one that could transcend time, space, and linguistic and cultural differences.
what does the word transcend mean?
options: explore, identity, rise above, bring together

Explanation:

The sentence says movies offer a universal form of expression that can "transcend" time, space, linguistic and cultural differences. To "transcend" here means to go beyond or rise above these differences, as the other options (explore, identity, bring together) don't fit the context of overcoming or going beyond these barriers.

Answer:

rise above
