Question are based on the following passage.
The Little Tramp
Few people have had as strong an impact on an industry (1) as the impact that Charlie Chaplin had on the world of film. (2) Born in 1889 into an impoverished London family, Chaplin crossed the Atlantic and became a pioneer in silent comedic movies.  (3) Early in his film career, Chaplin developed his signature character, the “Little Tramp,” who amused audiences repeatedly with his clever physical comedy and endearing sensitivity. Modest yet clearly intelligent, shy yet always at the center of action, the  (4) Tramp's embodiment was the genius of Chaplin's artistry.  (5) Being writer, director, and editing his own work, Chaplin faced a daunting challenge with the rise of “talkie” films, which drew audiences away from silent stars like the Tramp. Chaplin responded by taking on the additional role of composer, writing beautiful scores to accompany his films and (6) thus allowing the Tramp to remain speechless. Chaplin managed to defy the odds and maintain a remarkable level of popularity and success in the face of technological advancement. (7) Not just a master of the craft of acting and filmmaking, but also the face of a character that resonated deeply with those suffering through the Depression.
A vocal liberal in a time of conservative domination, (8) he became a target for the House Un-American Activities Committee. While he managed to avoid being named to the committee's Hollywood Ten, a list of black-listed entertainment industry figures suspected of Communist connections, he drew the ire of J. Edgar Hoover (9) in the messages imbedded within his films.
Chaplin saw the dangers in Hitler's rise to power before most of the world had heard of the dictator. He also believed that the development of the atomic bomb was a crime. Outraged at what (10) they viewed as subversive propaganda created by an immoral man, the United States government (11) eradicated Chaplin's reentry visa during a trip to London in 1952. Sixty-three years old and tired of fighting against a force unwilling to hear his message, Chaplin agreed to exile rather than going back to America and facing interrogation and lived the rest of his years in Europe. He returned twenty years later to receive an Academy Award for lifetime achievement.

Directions:Each passage below is accompanied by a number of questions....
