Answer 1

Answer:

1. Women do not support him in his plan to open a liquor store.

2. He fails to consider their willingness to spend the money received.

Explanation:

This question is about "A Raisin in the Sun" which tells the story of when Walter receives an inheritance that allows the family to make some dreams come true and change their lives. Each person in the family has a wish and most wishes are progressive and beneficial, except for Walter who wants to invest in a liquor store.

He does not receive the support of the women in the household who think this is a very risky plan and can promote the loss of money. He is disappointed, believing that women devalue him, however, he fails to take their advice.
