Can someone please help me explain question 26? Answer revealed below if anyone wants a go

Source: Big Book, T26, SECTION 2

Answer: D

What did you end up choosing ?
You can easily eliminate Option A to C and the real choice is b/w option (D) and option (E)… Now, we know from the earlier lines “Once we realize this dual-vision… to the work” that Lorraine work is “intentional”. Thus, in the first example of Du Bois “well-considered” the author is reinforcing his criticism!

Just to confirm my understanding, so the question is asking: Which idea from the passage is restating/reinforcing the author’s criticisms of critics’ responses of Lorraine Hansberry’s work?

So we can break it down that

  1. the critics’ responses of her work is that she is unintentional and not deliberate in the way she uses irony.
  2. the author argues that LH is intentional
  3. Du Bois is similarly intentional
    Therefore, 3) illustrates again author’s criticisms?

Thank you dearly for all your help!!

I ended up choosing A :sweat_smile:
