Multiple Choice

• B)suggest that the group include more woman and more people from different ethnic backgrounds to get different perspectives on storylines
• C)agree that superhero films are a great idea and suggesting superheroes that have not been portrayed in mainstream media for at least several years
• D)get two of the members to agree with her idea of developing a movie that combines the musical genre with the superhero genre
