But, to my mind, it is the duty of the younger Negro artist, if he accepts any duties at all from outsiders, to change through t

he force of his art that old whispering “I want to be white,” hidden in the aspirations of his people, to “Why should I want to be white? I am a Negro—and beautiful”? In this context, what is the meaning of “aspirations”?
complexities
beliefs
curiosities
ambitions

Answer:

Letter B

Explanation:

Although the general meaning of aspiration is <em>something somene aspires to be(come), </em>in this context the author didn't mean to imply that the Negro people aspired 'to become White'. This <em>old whispering</em> was more of an unsettling statement that echoed in their minds for many centuries. What they <em>believed</em> they should become in order to be better accepted in society.

Ambitions because if you were to switch the word from aspirations to ambition the meaning would be the same and the text wouldnt be changed

1. We can infer from the details of the passage that true or romantic love is more complex than lust because: it's more complex because we have no control over it and it is permanent.

2. The inferences that one can make about the types of subjects she has studied in addition to psychology is that she has studied "Philosophy".

<h3>What is inference?</h3>

Inference refers to the conclusion that one arrives as a result of observation and evaluation. Inference tends to be the final conclusion of an experimentation.

Sentence Frames:

1. In paragraph 2, the physicist Jim Al-Khalili states that lust is "is a

temporary passionate s**ual desire" and that it increases the release of a few chemicals in the body. On the other hand, true love "love is a powerful neurological condition like hunger or thirst, only more permanent" and is a condition he describes as "<u>permanent</u>" which shows that true love is more complex than lust.

In paragraph 3, the psychotherapist Philippa Perry refers to "love". In paragraph 4, she mentions "Aristotle" and lists "the philosophical saying of Aristotle".

Therefore, I can infer that Perry has studied "Philosophy".

3. In paragraph 7, the romantic novelist Jojo Moyes explains that love can be like "an obsession" and be "all consuming" so I can infer she is likely to include characters who were obsessed by love. Moyes also says that what "fascinates" her is "what separates love." Therefore, I can infer the plots of her books probably contain the incidences that led to separation of love.
