Answer: Option B

B
Apocalypse Now Redux and Apocalypse Now were discussed in the final two paragraphs. In the third paragraph, Apocalypse Now is described as a film that was released years after the conflict it portrayed and had a more complex view of the war. In the last paragraph, Apocalypse Now Redux is presented as further evidence that the pattern discussed in this passage continues. That pattern is that war movies presented less glorified and more layered portrayals when the conflict was further in the past. Thus, the correct answer will note that its perspective was more complex and morally ambiguous.
(A) This choice distorts the meaning of the passage. While the last paragraph notes that film audiences are more diverse, this is not connected to the information provided about Apocalypse Now Redux.
(B) CORRECT. The last paragraph notes that the extra footage was not originally included because it might repel audiences. Thus, the updated film's portrayal of war must be less appealing and more ambiguous than that of the original.
(C) This choice indicates a change in the opposite direction; the last paragraph indicates that the additional footage made the film's perspective on war harsher as opposed to more glorified.
(D) The passage indicates that not all war movies had the same tone, and the answer choice does not specify which "other movies" are referred to. Therefore, this choice is incorrect.
