Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

But this is the mountain standing in the way of any true Negro art in America—this urge within the race toward whiteness, the desire to pour racial individuality into the mold of American standardization, and to be as little Negro and as much American as possible.

What was Hughes's intended meaning in the statement?

Negro artists will be recognized when their art conforms to society.
Negro artists must create art only about their culture and ignore criticism.
Negro artists must gain recognition in any art form society will accept.
Negro artists will be accepted when their style is considered American.

Answer:

Negro artists will be recognized when their art conforms to society.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes's essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" talks of how black poets are unable to achieve the popularity and name they deserve because of their race. The essay deals with the themes of racism and how the desire to be white plays a huge part in the development and gaining status of promising poets and artists.

In the given lines from the first paragraph of the essay, Hughes reveals how "One of the most promising of the young Negro poets" expressed his desire to be a poet, but "not a Negro poet". This, according to Hughes, assumed the man indirectly wanted to be white. So, Hughes went on to state that this desire to be "white", this issue of racism, of being dark-skinned, is "a mountain standing in the way of any true Negro art in America", making it impossible for promising black artists to develop as an artist.

Through this passage, Hughes intended meaning is that "the desire to pour racial individuality into the mold of American standardization, and to be as little Negro and as much American as possible" is the only way for such artists to grow. In short, he is implying that Negro artists will be recognized only when their art conforms to the society's view, indirectly meaning, they cater to the white man's wants and views.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Which of the following causes Chemical Weathering? *

Marks of _ are on all of those faces: lips shut, eyes shaded, eaach one of the five people doing something to hide _ or his knoweledge

How good it would be to be lost again

Night falling on the compass, and the map

Turning to improbable flames

Bright ashes going out in the ponds.

And how good it would be

to stand bewildered in a strange wood

Where you are the loudest thing

Your heart making a deafening noise.

And how strange when your fear of being lost has subsided

To stand listening to the frogs holding

Their arguments in the stream

Condemning the barbarous herons.

And how right it is

To shrug off real and invented grief

As of no importance

To this moment of your life,

When being lost seems

So much more like being found

And you find all that is lost

Is what weighed you down. whats the main idea and analysis this poem?​

Article A

Sea otters live in the chilly Northern Pacific Ocean and spend almost all their lives in the water. They sleep, hunt, groom, mate, and give birth in the ocean, where they float on their backs on the water's surface. Adult sea otters spend more than a third of their day grooming their fur. This isn't for vanity; it's for survival. Unlike most sea mammals, sea otters do not have an inner layer of fat to protect them from the cold water. These creatures rely on their dense fur to protect them from the low temperatures. Sea otters have one of the thickest furs in all of the animal kingdom. An adult sea otter's coat can contain up to 1 billion individual hairs! These hairs form a protective, waterproof layer, which traps air and provides insulation. It is crucial that a sea otter's fur is kept clean to maintain this insulating layer between the water and their skin.

Article B

In the 1800s, sea otters were hunted for their fur. The fur trade between North America and Europe was booming, and sea otter fur was a popular option because of its thickness. By the mid-20th century, sea otters had been hunted to near extinction. Only 1,000–2,000 sea otters were believed to be living in the wild in 1929. Many people thought the species would soon become extinct. However, due to conservation efforts during the second half of the 20th century, sea otter populations recovered. The strengthening of the numbers of sea otters in the wild is often considered to be one of the greatest successes in marine conservation.

Article A focuses on the sea otter's vanity over its fur while Article B focuses on human vanity to hunt and use sea otter fur for coats and clothing.
