Explanation:
Well, angst is a complex and complicated emotion. One might even say this emotion could result in spite which often drives artist in creating high expectations of success. This spite would come from the deep feeling of dread that is angst for if one feels imminent doom than they'd feel the need to defend or prove themselves. On the other hand one might say angst could hold an artist back in their work allowing the angst to lead to pure depression therefore lacking or having no motivation to complete or even start a work. Some achieve great works due to pure angst. Take Edgar Allen Poe for example, a man ridden with angst who created terrifying yet magnificent stories such as "The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart". Angst is not what defines an artist temperament nor expectations of success for it is the artist that determines how their angst is channeled into such things.

Answer:
The aye-aye is one of the most <u>extraordinary</u>-looking creatures on earth.
Explanation:
Every word has two kinds of meaning:
- Denotation - what the word literally means;
- Connotation - the emotional or cultural association the word carries.
The word that would create the most positive connotation is <em>extraordinary. </em>When we say that something is extraordinary, we think that it's very unusual (in a positive way) or remarkable.
When something is outlandish, it is freakishly strange or odd. The connotation of this word is somewhat negative. When something is strange, it's unusual or difficult to explain, and when something is unusual, it's something that doesn't commonly occur. The words <em>strange </em>and <em>unusual </em>have a relatively neutral connotation.
Thus, the correct option is extraordinary.
