Question

the speakers tone in \harlem\ is best described as
frustrated.
conflicted.
joyful.
accepting.

Explanation:

In Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem", the speaker explores the deferred dreams of African - Americans. The questions posed like "What happens to a dream deferred?" and the vivid, somewhat troubled imagery (like "Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore— And then run?") convey a sense of frustration about unfulfilled aspirations. "Conflicted" implies internal struggle, but the tone is more about the frustration of deferred dreams. "Joyful" and "accepting" are opposite to the mood of the poem as it deals with unmet hopes. So the tone is frustrated.

Answer:

A. frustrated
