Rhetorical Synthesis
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: - A theater opened in 1890 and seated 900 people. - A cinema conversion in 1936 lowered the ceiling and hid the upper balcony. - Workers uncovered the balcony during a 2022 renovation. - The restored theater seats 760 people. - Current safety rules require wider aisles than the rules of 1890 did.
The student wants to explain why reopening the balcony did not restore the original capacity. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
