Read the passage from A Raisin in the Sun . BENEATHA ( with a grand and bitter gesture ) : This, friends, is the Welcoming Committee! WALTER ( dumfounded, looking at LINDNER) : Is this what you came marching all the way over here to tell us? LINDNER: Well, now we've been having a fine conversation. I hope you'll hear me all the way through— WALTER ( tightly ) : Go ahead, man. Which words from the text best support a sarcastic tone?
“Welcoming Committee” is sarcastic because Beneatha uses a cheerful-sounding phrase to describe Lindner’s unwelcome visit. The contrast between the polite words and the family’s bitter reaction makes the sarcasm clear. “Go ahead” and “hear me” do not carry the same ironic contrast.
