Which theater had no roof and hosted daytime performances?

• A. Adelphi Theatre
• B. Old Vic
• C. Globe Theater
• D. National Theatre

Answer: (C)

Open-air design and daylight performances are the key idea here. The Globe Theater was built with a central yard that was open to the sky, so the audience in the yard watched performances in daylight because there was no roof over the main viewing area. A stage canopy existed, but the open yard meant that weather and daylight governed the experience, which is what people mean by a theater with no roof hosting daytime performances. The other venues listed are enclosed houses with roofs, suitable for performances at night or in any weather, so they don’t fit the description. This is why the Globe Theater is the best fit.
