Question

question 8 of 10
ruth says she is going to take a bath in the new house, what does that most likely symbolize?

a. identity

b. poverty

c. serenity

d. forgiveness

Explanation:

In the context of works like "A Raisin in the Sun", Ruth taking a bath in the new house symbolizes a new sense of self and identity, as the new house represents a fresh start and a chance to redefine one's place and identity, rather than poverty (opposite, as new house is a step up), serenity (bath here is more about self - definition than calm), or forgiveness (no relevant context for that here).

Answer:

A. Identity
