Hi Experts ,

I was stuck between D and E.

I have a couple of questions.

1) Please shed some light on the usage of the POSSESSIVE in this question (Lorraine Hansberry's , also I have read that Plural Possessive is wrong , so how come Critics' Circle )

2) I guess A Raisin in the Sun should be modifies , because in the first part of the sentences it talks about the drama. Right?


Please advise and correct me if I took in another way.

Thanks in advance.
