question 7 of 10
which sentence best describes the root of walters unhappiness?
a. he wants to buy a house, but the only one he can afford is in a white neighborhood.
b. he wants to do well in college, but his teachers give him a hard time.
c. he wants to provide for his family but has limited options.
d. he wants to go to africa to connect with his roots, but he does not want to leave his family.

Explanation:

In A Raisin in the Sun, Walter's core unhappiness stems from his desire to be a provider for his family (a common male - role expectation in the context) but being constrained by limited economic and social opportunities (as an African - American in a discriminatory society). Option A is more about a specific manifestation (housing) rather than the root. Option B is not relevant as Walter is not in college. Option D is a mis - interpretation as the play does not center around his desire to go to Africa in that way.

Answer:

C. He wants to provide for his family but has limited options.
