Answer

Brief Explanations:

The paragraph states that many early - silent films are lost due to decay, recycling, and thoughtless actions of executives. It emphasizes the need to protect remaining films. While it gives facts about film losses, it could expand on reasons for losses. It doesn't list benefits of restoration and protection, and it's not mainly an emotional appeal.

Answer:

  1. The paragraph gives facts to back up the thesis, but could do better by including information about why many films have been lost.
