True
False

Answer 1

The Star-Spangled Banner is not an example of a new text fitted to an old melody.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the statement is false.

The Star-Spangled Banner is not an example of a new text fitted to an old melody. The melody for The Star-Spangled Banner was actually taken from a British song called "The Anacreontic Song." Francis Scott Key, after being inspired by the sight of the American flag, wrote a poem called "In Defense of Fort McHenry."

This poem was later set to the tune of "The Anacreontic Song" and became the national anthem of the United States, known as The Star-Spangled Banner.
