text from langston hughes work and related questions, with the above multiple - choice options

Explanation:

From the text of "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" by Langston Hughes, the key idea is that young African American artists should create art that is true to their inner selves (their own experiences, identities, etc.) rather than conforming to mainstream or public expectations or focusing on a select few. The option "create art that is truthful and representative of their inner selves" aligns with Hughes' message about artists being true to their own racial identity and experiences. The other options: "cultivate public images that reflect mainstream society" goes against the idea of not conforming to mainstream; "focus on themes and topics that are accessible to a select few" is not supported as Hughes talks about art from their own people's lives which would be more inclusive of their community; "base their art on the beliefs of the general public" also goes against the idea of being true to their own selves instead of public beliefs.

Answer:

create art that is truthful and representative of their inner selves
