Answer: Do not copy/paste this answer. This is just to help you understand the main points of the essay.

"The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" was an essay written by Langston Hughes. The main point of this essay is to explain the position of blacks when it comes to their dreams. It isn't just with art, it refers to any dream of black people, such as medical, economic, or even political. This essay doesn't just cover how black people are judged. It describes how they feel because of the discrimination. If white people weren't bringing them down, then they could feel more confident about their goals. The black people who wish to paint follow their dreams with a lot of doubt, but they do it anyway because they believe in themselves just enough to do so. Racism is a huge obstacle for black artists who wish for others to recognize their work. This isn't just part of their job, but it's part of a racial dispute because of their color. That's the obstacle that is represented by the mountain. While it seems they'll never be able to climb it, they can. Everyone should be allowed to follow their dreams no matter what. Nothing can set them back even if it seems like it might. So in conclusion, the main point of this essay is to explain how black people feel when it comes to their dreams in life. They have a huge mountain to climb in life, but some of them lack the confidence to do so due to racial discrimination. But they can achieve their dreams nonetheless.

Hope this helps!!

Explanation:

The main point of Langston Hughes's essay was to highlight the struggles and disadvantages of the African American community. It is not about his passion, his art. Here he writes about the dreams of the African American community, stability. Here he expresses how the community is victimized and repressed. Hughes also explains why, not because the reason is valid, but to prove it as a point to the audience. Racism has sprouted doubt amongst the community and has generationally molded the African American community into thinking they cannot achieve that American dream- they cant achieve greatness. Racism is a huge obstacle for black artists who wish others to recognize their work in the music industry. However, this discrimination reaches far past the music industry. It has had ahold of the African American community in every single aspect. In this essay, he uses a mountain as a symbol of the injustice he faces. While it seems the community will never be able to climb it, Hughes stresses that they can. Everyone should be allowed to follow their dreams no matter what the color of their skin is or beliefs. Even with all these obstacles, the African American community uniquely faces. So, in conclusion, the main point of this essay is to explain how Hughes, a representative of the African American community, feels about racism and how to combat it. By combat, meaning how to turn that negative into a positive. Nevertheless, they can achieve their dreams because the African American community is strong and even more determined.

Select the line that presents alliteration.
IgorLugansk [536]
An alliteration is a sequence of words that all begin with the same later, such as the tongue-twister "she sells sea-shells on the sea shore".

The only alliteration that I find here is "silent sea" -  so the correct answer as C, even though alliterations more often include more than two words, as in this case .
