F. it portrayed a modern-day turf war.
G. it introduced the serious subjects of gang violence and ethnic prejudice to Broadway.
H. the choreography and language deliberately embodied the physicality and vernacular of
life in the streets.
J.few of the actors were people of color.​

Answer 1

Option J, few of the actors were people of color, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inspired by the play Rom-eo and Jul-iet by William Shakespeare, West Side Story is a musical film of the early 1960's. This film presents the whole story through music, choreo-graphy and the traditional action.

West Side Story is a significant artistic accomplishment and influential for changes in the concept of the filmed musical. In this film, we can see the use of street sla-ng, the subject of gang warfare, modern-day turf war and a da-rk urban landscape, however, we don't see people of color employed in this film.

Therefore, all the options follow except option J (few of the actors were people of color).
