Question

read the excerpt from \the negro artist and the racial mountain.\

the present vogue in things negro, although it may do as much harm as good for the budding artist has at least done this: it has brought him forcibly to the attention of his own people among whom for so long, unless the other race had noticed him beforehand, he was a prophet with little honor.

in this context, what is the meaning of \vogue\?

options: need, goal, trend, habit

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "vogue" in the context, we analyze the sentence: "The present vogue in things Negro... has brought him forcibly to the attention of his own people...". The word "vogue" here refers to a current trend or fashion in the way things related to Negro are perceived or approached. Among the options, "trend" best matches this meaning. "Need" refers to a requirement, "goal" is an aim, and "habit" is a repeated action, none of which fit the context as well as "trend".

Answer:

trend
