Read the two passages from A Raisin in the Sun.

Passage 1:

[LINDNER:] At the moment the overwhelming majority of our people out there feel that people get along better, take more of a common interest in the life of the community, when they share a common background. I want you to believe me when I tell you that race prejudice simply doesn't enter into it. It is a matter of the people of Clybourne Park believing, rightly or wrongly, as I say, that for the happiness of all concerned that our Negro families are happier when they live in their own communities.

BENEATHA (with a grand and bitter gesture): This, friends, is the Welcoming Committee!

Passage 2:

LINDNER (looking around at the hostile faces and reaching and assembling his hat and briefcase): Well—I don't understand why you people are reacting this way. What do you think you are going to gain by moving into a neighborhood where you just aren't wanted and where some elements—well—people can get awful worked up when they feel that their whole way of life and everything they've ever worked for is threatened.

WALTER: Get out.

LINDNER (at the door, holding a small card): Well—I'm sorry it went like this.

WALTER: Get out.

LINDNER (almost sadly regarding WALTER): You just can't force people to change their hearts, son.

He turns and puts his card on a table and exits. WALTER pushes the door to with stinging hatred, and stands looking at it. RUTH just sits and BENEATHA just stands. They say nothing. MAMA and TRAVIS enter.

MAMA: Well—this all the packing got done since I left out of here this morning. I testify before God that my children got all the energy of the dead! What time the moving men due?

BENEATHA: Four o’clock. You had a caller, Mama.

“a common background”
“their own communities”
“some elements”
“all the energy of the dead”

1if katina that the first day of her internship at harper and associates would be so disastrous, she would have called in sick. she'd chosen her clothes carefully that morning: katina had dressed in black slacks, a white shirt, a vibrant turquoise jacket, and matching turquoise shoes to create a youthful but professional look. on the bus ride to work, someone had bumped katina's arm, and she'd spilled her coffee down the front of her shirt. unfortunately, the jacket couldn't hide the stain, and katina knew that the senior partners had noticed it when they'd introduced themselves. 2 one of the third-year associates, greg, had shown katina around the office and explained her responsibilities. then, he'd taken her to the copy room, handed her an enormous box of legal briefs, and told her to start making copies. just when she'd almost finished, greg had returned to tell her that he actually needed two copies of every file. after lunch, greg had katina start filing the copies. she'd been filing for an hour when greg informed her that she'd put the files in the incorrect order. katina could only hope that tomorrow would be a better day. how does the author reveal katina's initial excitement about her internship? a) by showing how katina responds to conflict b) by describing how katina felt at the end of the day c) by showing how katina interacts with other characters d) by describing how katina selected her clothes with care
