To determine which statements about Martinique’s Carnival celebration are accurate and which are not, let's assess each statement one by one.
### Accurate Statements
1. **Carnival includes overt displays of sexuality and gender transgression.**
- **Reasoning:** Many Carnival celebrations around the world, including in Martinique, are known for their vibrant and often provocative displays, which can include themes of sexuality and gender fluidity.
2. **Controversy over the Kepone chemical contamination scandal was expressed at Carnival.**
- **Reasoning:** Carnival festivals are often venues where social and political issues are highlighted through performance and satire. The Kepone scandal, a significant environmental and public health crisis, could be a topic of public conversation during the celebrations.
3. **Carnival is a venue for public conversation about the big debates of the day.**
- **Reasoning:** Carnival often serves as a platform for the community to engage in public discourse, through costumes, parades, and performances that comment on current events and societal issues.
### Not an Accurate Statement
1. **At the 2013 Carnival, chemicals spilled and resulted in an environmental crisis.**
- **Reasoning:** While Carnival could be a platform for discussing environmental crises, there is no evidence to support that a chemical spill occurred specifically during the 2013 Carnival causing an environmental crisis. This statement seems to misattribute an environmental event to the timeframe of the festival without clear evidence.
Therefore, we can conclude:
- **Accurate Statements:** The first, second, and fourth statements.
- **Not an Accurate Statement:** The third statement regarding a chemical spill at the 2013 Carnival.
