问题     James Langston Hughes finally arrived in New York on September 4, 1921 to attend Colombia University. Langston felt frustrated at Colombia due to the discrimination of his white classmates. His grades began to suffer and finally he left and looked for a job.
    Job were still hard to come by for most blacks. He longed to work on a ship that would sail abroad. After much persistence, he headed to Africa on a freighter(货船). Hughes was disturbed by the African tribes’ lack of political and economical freedom. The Africans considered him white because of his brown skin and stranded dark hair. It was here that he met a mulatto (白黑混血) child who was ignored by the Africans and the whites. This was a source of inspiration for his play, Mulatto .
    Hughes found work on another freighter and ended up in Pairs. While there he worked at a night club that featured southern cooking and jazz performers. While moving on to Italy, Hughed was robbed and left stranded (helpless) wanting to return to the United States. He tried to get a job on a ship heading for the U. S. A. but was told they only hired the white. In this depressed state of mind he wrote, I, Too, Sing America .
    He returned to America and found the Harlem Renaissance was spreading across racial boundaries (种族界限) . Many black poets and authors were now published in mainstream publications. Hughes was warmly welcomed by his peers (同辈) and recognized for the potery he wrote while traveling.
How did Hughes pay for his trip from Africa to Paris?____.

B、He got a job on ship
C、He worked for a night club
