Question

2.2.7 quiz: analyze a raisin in the sun, part ii
question 5 of 10
which sentence best describes one of the plays themes?
a. the meaning of home is the same for all people, regardless of race.
b. fighting with force results in power and feelings of pride.
c. when people experience injustice, they become frustrated and disheartened.
d. when people embrace their heritage, they lose their true identity.

Explanation:

In A Raisin in the Sun, the Younger family faces systemic racism and economic injustice. Their dreams are constantly deferred due to these unjust circumstances, leading to frustration (like Walter's failed business venture hopes) and disheartenment (the overall struggle to achieve a better life).

• Option A is incorrect as the play shows different racial groups having different experiences and thus different views on home (e.g., the white neighborhood's opposition to the Youngers moving in).
• Option B is wrong because the play doesn't advocate for force - based fighting to gain power. The family's struggles are more about dignity and non - violent perseverance (like Mama's pride in her home and family values).
• Option D is also incorrect. Embracing heritage (like Beneatha's interest in her African roots) is shown as a positive exploration of identity, not a loss of true identity.

Answer:

C. When people experience injustice, they become frustrated and disheartened.
