Who says, 'I bet this time next month y'all's names will have been in the papers plenty - 'NEGROES INVADE CLYBOURNE PARK - BOMBED!'?

• A. Mrs. Johnson
• B. Mama
• C. Walter
• D. Beneatha

Answer: (A)

The point this question tests is recognizing which character embodies the white neighbor’s fear and sensationalism about a black family moving into a white, all-white neighborhood. In the scene, a white neighbor speaks in vivid, alarmist terms about how the press would dramaticize the event, hinting at violence and disruption. That voice belongs to Mrs. Johnson, the white neighbor who represents the hostile, racist attitudes surrounding the move to Clybourne Park. Her line—imagining a newspaper headline about “NEGROES INVADE CLYBOURNE PARK” and predicting bombings—shows how she tries to scare the Youngers and frame their attempt at housing as a dangerous upheaval. This moment highlights the social environment the family faces and foreshadows the conflict with the white community.

So, the speaker is Mrs. Johnson because she is the neighborhood figure who vocalizes that kind of fear‑driven, sensationalized response to black people entering a white space.
