a. strong nurturing is not a guarantee for strong individuals.
b. racism limits a persons choices in life.
c. success is possible for all people, regardless of race.
d. education can make people biased.

Explanation:

"A Raisin in the Sun" is a play that explores the experiences of an African - American family. Racism is a prominent theme in the play as it shows how the Younger family faces discrimination and how it affects their opportunities and choices. For example, they face difficulties in buying a house in a white neighborhood due to racial prejudice.

• Option A: There is no strong indication in the play that strong nurturing not leading to strong individuals is a theme. The family members support each other, and their struggles are more related to external (racist) factors.
• Option C: While the play shows the family's aspirations, the main focus is on the limitations racism puts on their choices rather than emphasizing that success is possible for all regardless of race in a straightforward way. The obstacles due to racism are more prominent.
• Option D: Education is not presented as a cause of bias in the play. The play is more about the impact of racism on the family.

Answer:

B. Racism limits a person's choices in life.
