Answer:

"Infernal" - from the 3 words given the closest in meaning : annoying.

Explanation:

All the words are adjectives, they modify / clarify nouns and pronouns.

Infernal: Formal english: something that belongs to the underworld of the dead, hellish or diabolic.

Informal english: something annoying or confounded. (extra annoying)

Annoying; irritating, perturbing, unwelcome, pester etc.

Fiery: A fire based object that burns strongly and brightly releasing a lot of heat. Synonyms could be flaming, blazing, ablaze, burning etc.

Unpleasant: something that causes annoyance, is disagreeable, irritable, etc

When making use of the word infernal it is used to emphasis the degree of annoyance beyond normal.

For example: I have a terrible headache caused by the infernal party noise at my neighbor´s house all night long.

Here the use of infernal goes beyond annoying (extra annoying)

Therefore, from the options provided the closest logical answer is annoying.

chubhunter [2.5K]

In "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," Hughes talks about the importance of identity and race in art. He argues that a true artist cannot be one in a way that is separate from his own identity. This is particularly true in the United States, where your racial background determines every aspect of who you are, what opportunities you have access to, and how people treat you.

This is illustrated in "Arrangement in Black and White." In this story, we see an African American artist who is admired by a white woman. The woman considers herself to be liberal and accepting of others. However, she is unable to look past her own racism and bias, despite her claim of being modern and understanding. This supports Hughes idea of the artist being unable to be an artist independently from his racial identity.

The original meaning (and still the formal meaning) of 'queer' is actually 'strange' or 'weird'. The excerpt is probably from a few decades ago or was written/spoken within a formal context. The new, more common meaning of 'queer' was born from old beliefs of a prejudiced society, where homossexual people were considered to be 'weird', therefore it's a pejorative term, and it's generally not received well by the homessexual community. As the word 'gay', which originally means 'glad', but with time had its meaning changed first colloquially, then gramatically ('glad' does not imply a pejorative connotation, however).

So the meaning of the stanza wouldn't change it the words mentioned were used intead.
