Answer:

A. Identity.

Explanation:

Lorraine Hansberry's famous play "A Raisin in the Sun" tells the life of the Younger family, an African-American family living in Southern Chicago during the 1950s. The family also struggles with their heritage, while their children especially daughter Benethea, trying to find and accept her identity.

The given conversation is from towards the end of Act I scene i where Mama and Ruth talked of how easily Benethea changes her interests. Benethea, a college student, had just announced that she is starting guitar lessons that day and that she will come late that night. That was when both women began to ask and question her decision to keep on changing her interests. Like Mama said

<em>"don’t you know what to do with </em>

<em>yourself? How long it going to be before you get tired of </em>

<em>this now—like you got tired of that little </em><u><em>playacting group </em></u>

<em>you joined last year?"</em>

And then after this was the <u>horseback riding club</u> and now <u>guitar lessons.</u> But this constant change in her interest areas also suggests that Benethea is searching for her real identity, moving from one thing from another. Throughout the play, she is seen to be looking for her identity.
