for A Raisin in the Sun, after each act, you'll come up with TEN questions with correct answers (along with a page reference) and post them here. The questions should be basic Costa's Level One questions, which means that if someone read the drama, that they should know the answer without any outside help. For example, an appropriate Act One question would be: "What is Beneatha (or Bennie) studying to become?"

So, here's what your reply/response should look like:

1. What is Beneatha (or Bennie) studying to become? Beneatha is studying to become a doctor. (page 12)

2. Your second question and answer here with page reference.

3. Your third question and answer here with page reference.
