Answer
Brief Explanations:
In the context of Beneatha's conversation with her mother, she is worried about her mother's potential behavior regarding Asagai. Option B makes the most sense as it reflects her concern about her mother embarrassing her with ignorant questions about Africa. Option A is incorrect as asking not to bring up marriage doesn't imply she wants to marry Asagai. Option C is not well - supported by the general context of the conversation before Asagai arrives. Option D is about hiding cockroaches which is not the main concern in the conversation about Asagai's arrival.
Answer:
B. Beneatha is concerned that her mother will embarrass her in front of Asagai by asking ignorant questions about Africa.
