Read this excerpt from A Raisin in the Sun. MAMA (Matter-of-factly) Four o six Clybourne Street,
Clybourne Park.
RUTH Clybourne Park? Mama, there ain't no colored people
living in Clybourne Park.
MAMA (Almost idiotically) Well, I guess there's going to be
some now
WALTER (Bitterly) So that's the peace and comfort you
went out and bought for us today!
MAMA (Raising her eyes to meet his finally) Son-I just
tried to find the nicest place for the least amount of money
for my family
What does Mama's underlined statement tell you about her character?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

i cannot see any of the options

the answer is b. i read this story before.

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.
