Question

Which of the following statements is true about the publication of "broadsides"?
A) They were usually composed of 4 sheets of paper
B) The first paper published in the American colonies was a broadside, though it
only lasted for one day
C) They were imported to the U.S. from France
D) They were also known as Corantos
E) The first broadside was published in the colonies in the 1800s

Answer 1

Answer:

(B) In many moralizing ballads, the moral content was confined to a single stanza expressing a pious sentiment tacked onto a sensational account of crime and adultery

Explanation: Only (B) gives us some indication that people's motivations for buying the broadsides might have been something other than for the moralizing sentiments themselves.

Answer 2

The true statement regarding broadsides is "They were also known as Corantos". Option D is correct.

Broadsides were cheap single-sheet prints of one side only commonly used for:

• Conveying basic information
• Proclamations
• Advertisements
• Official notices

Broadsides were never printed to last, they were meant to convey basic information at a very cheap publication price. For this reason, they were always single-sheet prints, therefore option A is incorrect.

The first paper published in the American Colonies was a newspaper, printed on both sides, and was therefore not a broadside. This along with the fact that these prints were either printed locally or imported from England, tell us that options B and C are also false

Broadsides were published well before the 1800s in the American Colonies and the independent United States of America, one example is the Dunlap broadside that provided coverage of the Independence of the nation. This means that option E is also incorrect, leaving the correct option as D , before being known as broadsides, similar prints were known globally as Corantos.
