There is a contrast between “exploitation and iniquity” and what the film is actually concerned with: the first blank must be the opposite of exploitation or iniquity, that is, fairness. Slavery and injustice are theme traps in agreement with “exploitation and iniquity”; both don’t fit considering the signal words “though” and “nevertheless.” The film showcases “the elimination of all the protagonist’s abusers,” which grants the audience something like closure. The audience hasn’t been waiting for inconclusiveness. Maybe it has been waiting for relief, but catharsis is a better fit, since it refers specifically to purging of built-up emotions. Finally, the plot is building up to a resolution, or denouement. A platitude (trite saying) might leave “much to be desired,” but wouldn’t provide a “satisfying upheaval.” There is no indication that the conclusion of the film was an embellishment (an untrue detail added to a story to make it more interesting).
Answer: A,D,E
