Answer 1

The correct answer is option D.  When Beneatha allows her hair to go back to its naturally curly state, she is clearly showing her interest in her African heritage. " A Raisin in the Sun" is a play written by Lorraine Hansberry, that debuted on Broadway in 1959. It tells the life story of a black family as they try to better their lives after receiving an insurance payment for the death of the father. When Beneatha decided to let her hair go back to its natural state, she is not only showing her interest in her heritage, but also accepting herself as she is, and not subsiding to the beauty standards, that are commonly stetted by white communities.

 She allows her hair to go back to its naturally curly state.
