6. In Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry does not reject integration or the economic and
moral promise of the American dream; rather, she remains loyal to this dream while looking,
realistically, at its incomplete realization. Once we recognize this dual vision, we can accept
the play’s ironic nuances as deliberate social commentaries by Hansberry rather than as the
“unintentional” irony that Bigsby attributes to the work. Indeed, a curiously persistent refusal
to credit Hansberry with a capacity for intentional irony has led some critics to interpret the
play’s thematic conflicts as mere confusion, contradiction, or eclecticism. Isaacs, for example,
cannot easily reconcile Hansberry’s intense concern for her race with her ideal of human
reconciliation. But the play’s complex view of Black self-esteem and human solidarity as
compatible is no more “contradictory” than Du Bois’s famous, well-considered ideal of ethnic
self-awareness coexisting with human unity, or Fanon’s emphasis on an ideal
internationalism that also accommodates national identities and roles

This question refers to the third sentence of the passage, which reads as follows: “Indeed, a
curiously persistent refusal to credit Hansberry with a capacity for intentional irony has led
some critics to interpret the play’s thematic conflicts as mere confusion, contradiction, or
eclecticism.”
The author of the passage would probably consider which of the following judgments to be
most similar to the reasoning of the critics described in the third sentence?

unquestionably foolhardy.

control it in a laboratory.
