<p>The crude animated effects … projected images from seventeenth-century lantern slides have now been recognized as … of modern film animation.</p>
<p>A) complemented by - antecedents
E) afforded by - forerunners</p>
<p>What is the difference between A and E? :(</p>
<p>This is how I would go about solving this SC problem. </p>
<p>The crude animated effects—projected images from seventeenth-century lantern slides have now been recognized as—of modern film animation. </p>
<p>We are give two time periods…
-“seventeeth-century”
-“modern”</p>
<p>In addition, the “effects” are described as being <animated> and <crude>. This suggests that the effects are basic versions of the “animation” mentioned at the end of the sentence. The basic animated effects (17th century) came before the modern film animation (present). “Came before” fits both forerunner and antecedent, which leaves us with just the first word to go off of. </crude></animated></p>
<p>We now that the animated effects from the 17th century are some basic form of film. How do projected images relate to basic forms of film? Do projected images (pictures) compliment a basic movie? Not really, that doesn’t make much sense. The projected images (pictures) are quickly flashed in succession to produce what appears to be a moving picture (basic movie). </p>
<p>Ok now we now how the two parts relate.</p>
<p>projected images <produce> moving picture (animated effects)</produce></p>
<p>What’s another way to say <to produce="">? To afford. Put the infinitive “To afford” into the correct tense and you have your answer!</to></p>
<p>E)</p>
<p>Although the thought process looks long when you right it out, it happens in just a few seconds in your head.</p>
<p>This would be a harder question (~4) in the sentence completion section. It requires people to know a second definition of a common word and resist choosing a tempting answer, A).</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, elvisthepup!</p>
