Question

The discovery of the halftone
The discovery of the halftone process in photography in 1881 made it___________photographs in books and newspapers.
(A) the possible reproduction
(B) possible to reproduce
(C) the possibility of reproducing
(D) possibly reproduce

Which one is correct and why? I think it is B or C.

Answer

Quite simply, it is a test of whether you know the pretty standard expression "to make it possible to + verb".

Answer

B is correct.The noun "photographs" requires an infinitive (TO reproduce) to describe an action happening to it.

The "it" in "made it" makes C incorrect, as the "it" would refer to nothing. With the "it" there, the sentence suggests that something ("it") is being made into a possibility.

Answer

only b is correct.
