Question

the movies might have faded away altogether had it not been for the release of cinderella in 1900. directed by a french magician, georges méliès, cinderella was one of the first motion pictures to tell a story with a beginning, middle, and end. the fairy - tale was divided into twenty tableaux, or scenes, the action of each tableau kept the plot moving forward. as obvious as this approach may sound, it nevertheless revolutionized the industry. more than a decade after the invention of the celluloid strip, film narrative had at last been discovered. the film cinderella was

o biographical

o comical

o unprecedented

o implausible

Explanation:

The text emphasizes that the approach of telling a story with a beginning, middle, and end in motion - pictures was revolutionary. "Unprecedented" means never done or known before, which fits the description of the new narrative approach in early films. There is no indication that the film is biographical or comical, and "implausible" (not believable) is not relevant to the description of the film's narrative innovation.

Answer:

C. unprecedented
