Which Griffith film features four stories?

• A. Intolerance
• B. Film Color for Emotion
• C. First Animation
• D. Stop Motion

Answer: (A)

Intolerance is built around four parallel narratives woven together across different eras, and that structure is the clue this item tests. D. W. Griffith intercuts stories set in ancient Babylon, ancient Jerusalem, Renaissance France, and a contemporary era to show how intolerance repeats itself across time and place. The film uses this four-story, cross-cutting approach to argue that bigotry and persecution are recurring human problems, and it uses the juxtaposition of these strands to drive home its message that empathy and understanding are needed to overcome hatred. The other options don’t fit this pattern — they aren’t Griffith films known for four interwoven narratives, or they refer to techniques or topics rather than a four-part epic.
