Question

question 9 of 10
how does the setting most affect ruths ideas about having a baby?
a. she worries because women had limited options in the 1950s.
b. she worries because the family will soon be forced out of their new house.
c. she worries because she does not want to bring a baby into a racially charged world.
d. she worries because there is no room for a baby in the small apartment.

Explanation:

In the context of the story (assuming it's related to themes of race and societal issues), the setting's racial charged nature (common in many works dealing with social issues) would make a character worry about bringing a baby into such a world. Options A, B, and D focus more on personal - family - level limitations (options in 1950s, housing situation) rather than a broader, more impactful societal - racial aspect that would deeply affect a character's view on having a baby.

Answer:

C. She worries because she does not want to bring a baby into a racially charged world.
