question 2 of 10
how does the setting most affect ruths ideas about having a baby?
a. she worries because there is no room for a baby in the small apartment.
b. she worries because she does not want to bring a baby into a racially charged world.
c. she worries because the family will soon be forced out of their new house.
d. she worries because women had limited options in the 1950s.

Explanation:

In the context of "A Raisin in the Sun" (where Ruth is a character), the family lives in a small, cramped apartment. The setting of the small apartment directly relates to space concerns for a new baby, making option A the most relevant as it ties the setting (small apartment) to her worry about having a baby due to lack of space. Option B is about racial context (not the immediate setting of their home), option C is incorrect as the family is trying to move into a new house (not being forced out soon), and option D is about gender roles in the 1950s (a broader social context, not the specific setting affecting her baby - related worries directly).

Answer:

A. She worries because there is no room for a baby in the small apartment.
