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

Explanation:

In "A Raisin in the Sun", Walter's core struggle is his desire to be a provider for his family. He has dreams of bettering their situation (like getting a business) but faces limited opportunities (such as the money from the insurance check being misused etc.). Option A about college teachers is not central. Option B about the house in a white neighborhood is a consequence of larger issues (not the root - his main drive is to provide). Option C about Africa is a later - emerging aspect (not the root of his unhappiness which is about family provision).

Answer:

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