Read the two passages from A Raisin in the Sun.

Passage 1:

[LINDNER:] At the moment the overwhelming majority of our people out there feel that people get along better, take more of a common interest in the life of the community, when they share a common background. I want you to believe me when I tell you that race prejudice simply doesn't enter into it. It is a matter of the people of Clybourne Park believing, rightly or wrongly, as I say, that for the happiness of all concerned that our Negro families are happier when they live in their own communities.

BENEATHA (with a grand and bitter gesture): This, friends, is the Welcoming Committee!

Passage 2:

LINDNER (looking around at the hostile faces and reaching and assembling his hat and briefcase): Well—I don't understand why you people are reacting this way. What do you think you are going to gain by moving into a neighborhood where you just aren't wanted and where some elements—well—people can get awful worked up when they feel that their whole way of life and everything they've ever worked for is threatened.

WALTER: Get out.

LINDNER (at the door, holding a small card): Well—I'm sorry it went like this.

WALTER: Get out.

LINDNER (almost sadly regarding WALTER): You just can't force people to change their hearts, son.

He turns and puts his card on a table and exits. WALTER pushes the door to with stinging hatred, and stands looking at it. RUTH just sits and BENEATHA just stands. They say nothing. MAMA and TRAVIS enter.

MAMA: Well—this all the packing got done since I left out of here this morning. I testify before God that my children got all the energy of the dead! What time the moving men due?

BENEATHA: Four o’clock. You had a caller, Mama.

Which phrases from the passages best support the theme that racism can be subtle? Select three options.

“a common background”
“their own communities”
“some elements”
“all the energy of the dead”
“You had a caller”
