Решение 2.

Как и когда были созданы первые знаменитости?

Ответ: According to the text, before the twentieth century, celebrity status was given to biblical mythical figures and royalty, such as pharaohs of Egypt. The film industry invented the modern personality. The first global celebrity was Charlie Chaplin, who became famous in Hollywood in the 1920s and '30s.

Согласно тексту, до двадцатого века статус знаменитости присваивался библейским мифическим фигурам и членам королевских семей, например, фараонам Египта. Киноиндустрия изобрела современную личность. Первой мировой знаменитостью стал Чарли Чаплин, который прославился в Голливуде в 1920-х и 30-х годах.
