Google Sheets Query: Making the selected column depend on formula

I would like to use a normal QUERY with where operating in the usual way where A = 'Speed' but with the selected column being determined based on a formula. Specifically, I want to return only the column that has a certain user-determined number in row 1. Row 1 has numbers from the range 4 to 10 without duplicates but in a variable order.

My sample data is:

         A          B        C                  D        E  
-----------------------------------------------------------------
   1 | -----        5        6                  7        8
   2 | Speed        Slow     Fair               Medium   Fast  
   3 | Comfort      Bad      Barely acceptable  Bla      Bla,bla                
   4 | Reliability  Low      Acceptable         Blabla   Blablabla 

The query should look something like:

=QUERY('Sheetname'!A1:E; "Select xxx where A = 'Speed')

I'm looking for what I should put in place of xxx depending on the values of row 1.
