In contrast to the rest of Beneatha's debate with Asagai, Asagai's remark in line 26 ("You sound... intellectual") provides A a belittlement of her plight B a comic distraction C a moment of lightheartedness D a direct challenge to her reasoning E an indication of a possible misunderstanding​

C a moment of lightheartedness

Explanation:

In contrast to the rest of Beneatha's debate with Asagai, Asagai's remark in line 26 ("You sound... intellectual") provides a moment of lightheartedness.

This is because the tone is a teasing tone which is quite different from the tone that was used to discuss colonialism and is used as a sort of comic relief.

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."
