PP1 (Shorter) Verbal Section 2 (Easy) Q8

This is a Function Question since it asks us to select the question that fulfills a particular function.

We're looking for a sentence that provides examples that provide support for arguing against some critics' points of view. In this particular passage, the critics reject the "conflicting" elements in Hansberry's play since they find them to be contradictions and confusion. 

The Right Answer

The best choice here is the final sentence "But the play's...national identities and roles". In it, the author gives 2 examples of other artists who have conflicting elements in their works but have not been criticized for them. The author argues that Hansberry's use of conflicting elements is no different from these other artists, helping to argue against the critics' point of view.
