Answer:
“Birth of a Nation”—D. W. Griffith’s disgustingly racist yet titanically original 1915 feature—back to the fore. The movie, set mainly in a South Carolina town before and after the Civil War, depicts slavery in a halcyon light, presents blacks as good for little but subservient labor, and shows them, during Reconstruction, to have been goaded by the Radical Republicans into asserting an abusive dominion over Southern whites. It depicts freedmen as interested, above all, in intermarriage, indulging in legally sanctioned excess and vengeful violence mainly to coerce white women into sexual relations. It shows Southern whites forming the Ku Klux Klan to defend themselves against such abominations and to spur the “Aryan” cause overall. The movie asserts that the white-sheet-clad death squad served justice summarily and that, by denying blacks the right to vote and keeping them generally apart and subordinate, it restored order and civilization to the South.
“Birth of a Nation,” which runs more than three hours, was sold as a sensation and became one; it was shown at gala screenings, with expensive tickets. It was also the subject of protest by civil-rights organizations and critiques by clergymen and editorialists, and for good reason: “Birth of a Nation” proved horrifically effective at sparking violence against blacks in many cities. Given these circumstances, it’s hard to understand why Griffith’s film merits anything but a place in the dustbin of history, as an abomination worthy solely of autopsy in the study of social and aesthetic pathology.
Explanation:
I just took the pre-SAT. I thought it was going to be harder than it actually was. When I took it, it took 3 hours. The first part was reading passages and answer questions about it. That was 1 hour. The next part is on grammar. You look at sentences and figure out if they used the right set of words or punctuation. That was 45 min. The 3rd and 4th part was on math. On the third part there was like 12 multiple choice questions and like 4 problems you had to work out. The fourth part had like 21 multiple questions. and 4 problems you had to work out.
E. Redundant. In my opinion most of the opinions are contradictory because invalid, falsified, and redundant have closely similar meanings
