Midnight97:

Based on its context in this excerpt from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s A Little Princess, what is the meaning of the word queer? Principally, she was thinking of what a queer thing it was that at one time one was in India in the blazing sun, and then in the middle of the ocean, and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets where the day was as dark as the night. She found this so puzzling that she moved closer to her father. A. scary B. strange C. magical D. interesting E. funny

"Originally meaning 'strange' or 'peculiar', queer came to be used pejoratively against those with same-sex desires or relationships in the late 19th century."
