Answer:

A burden.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes's poem "Harlem" is a short poem of just 11 lines that talks about a dream that is deferred and remains unfulfilled. The poem is a thought-provoking piece that talks of how unfulfilled dreams deferred for long would end up leaving a person helpless and even hopeless.

In the poem, the speaker talks of a dream deferred as a<em> "heavy load"</em> that <em>"sags".</em> In this particular phrase, the speaker meant to say that like a heavy load that sags and makes a person struggle with the heavy burden, a dream deferred can also be a massive burden for the person, leaving him desperate and uncertain of what is there in the future.

Thus,<u> the phrase "a heavy burden" means a burden that a person has to carry. </u>

astra-53 [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options provided, we can say the following.

Romans were able to move from wooden houses to more permanent structures because they started to experiment with the use of concrete, cement, and better formulas to increase the quality of this material. Romans were also capable of exploring new ideas to create forms such as vaults and arches. Let's have in mind that Romans originally used a different material called "tufa" which was a volcanic rock. A solid material but not an aesthetical one. Years later, Romans cold mix concrete with volcanic sand to create a more resistant material. With the use of marble, Romans were capable of creating marvelous buildings and temples.
