question 8 of 10
who inspired the title of a raisin in the sun?

a. langston hughes

b. martin luther king jr.

c. walt whitman

d. w. e. b. dubois

Explanation:

The title "A Raisin in the Sun" is inspired by Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem" (also known as "A Dream Deferred"), where he asks what happens to a dream deferred, comparing it to a "raisin in the sun". Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights leader, Walt Whitman was a poet (but not related to this title's inspiration), and W. E. B. Du Bois was a civil rights activist and scholar, none of whom inspired this title.

Answer:

A. Langston Hughes
