The correct answer is D - A Raisin in the Sun.
Explanation:
To identify the odd item, let's examine the nature of each work:
1. Romeo and Juliet (A) – A play by William Shakespeare (Tragedy).
2. Ozidi (B) – A play by J.P. Clark (Nigerian Drama, based on folklore).
3. Tom Sawyer (C) – A novel by Mark Twain (Fiction/Adventure).
4. A Raisin in the Sun (D) – A play by Lorraine Hansberry (Drama, African American Literature).
5. Kongi's Harvest (E) – A play by Wole Soyinka (Political Drama).
Why is A Raisin in the Sun the odd one out?
All the other options are either classic plays (A, B, and E) or a classic novel (C).
A Raisin in the Sun is unique because it is a modern American drama that focuses on African American struggles and racial issues, whereas the others belong to either classical Western literature (Shakespeare, Twain) or African literary traditions (Clark, Soyinka).
Additionally, A Raisin in the Sun is the only play written by an African American woman, making it stand out thematically and historically.
The answer should be C
The rest of the books are Plays ( Drama)
D cannot be the answer as Tom Sawyer is also non-african
