Answer 1

c) "How many acts of genocide does it take to make genocide?"

Step-by-step explanation:

"How many acts of genocide does it take to make genocide?" is a question that references the fact that the events of the movie, the Rwandan genocide, are a form of genocide. The question implies that genocide is a difficult concept to understand and that it may take multiple instances for it to be recognized. This statement is attempting to use humor to convey the seriousness of the situation and the absurdity of the fact that the international community did not intervene to stop the genocide. The statement is sarcastic in nature, highlighting the failure of the international community to take action and the gravity of the events depicted in the movie.
