Question

In Langston Hughes’s poem “I Dream a World,” the repetition of the word “dream” emphasizes
the idea that the action of the poem takes place at night.
the notion that Hughes lives in a fantasy world rather than reality.
the fact that equality is a desired but seemingly unattainable goal.
the belief that dreams often remain unrealized due to oppression

Answer 1

The best choice is: "the fact that equality is a desired but seemingly unattainable goal."

Reason: Hughes’s repeated "I dream" stresses a vision of a just, equal world — a longing and moral aspiration. (Note: the poem is more hopeful than resigned; the repetition mainly highlights yearning for equality rather than literal nighttime dreaming or simple escapism.)
