Answer

Brief Explanations:

Sentences 1 and 2 talk about going to the movies being a special thrill (general experience) and the buttery smell of popcorn etc. (specific movie - related sensory details). Sentence 5 is about Edison's kinetoscope invention's importance. Sentences 3 and 4 are about early films (silent, black - and - white) and how they captured people's minds. The question is about which sentences provide background information on the essay's topic (movies). Sentences 1 and 2 set the scene of going to movies (the general topic), while the others are more about specific aspects of film history (kinetoscope, early films).
