question 9 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 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 works like "A Raisin in the Sun", Walter's core unhappiness stems from his desire to support his family (e.g., through business or financial stability) but facing societal/economic barriers that limit his options. Option A focuses on housing in a white neighborhood (a specific issue, not the root), B is unrelated to his character's context, C misrepresents his motivations (his focus is more on family provision/financial success than Africa - related roots). So D captures the fundamental conflict of wanting to provide but having few viable paths.

Answer:

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