I believe the correct answer is naive.
The author is trying to say that he was ignorant, and that he couldn't understand properly these new revelations. He was either too young or too stupid to understand such a thing, but he believes he will as he grows older.
Hughes uses figurative language to develop theme by detailing to the reader the importance of the setting/ by also giving the characters life so that the theme is also seen from the characters he creates.

The environment plays a major role in several things such as who we are and how others see us. As defined in Merriam-Webster for the word environment, "the circumstances, objects, or conditions by which one is surrounded." This goes to prove that our environment is not only comprised of what is outside in nature, but also everything from the contents of our living room to the clear, blue skies. I believe that our environment affects what we do majorly. For example, when somebody is locked inside a prison, their environment is very harsh, cold, and dark. This changes their mental attitude, and often leads to something such as depression.

Humility, and compassion if i constantly
Speak or act with an entitled, arrogant,
Or cruel attitude
