Explanation:

"The People Could Fly: American Black Folktales" is a collection of stories among the African American communities, retold by Virginia Hamilton. This collection of tales revolves round the theme of black emancipation, the hardships faced by the slaves and their want for freedom.

In the given passage from "Bruh Alligator and Bruh Deer", The tale tells about the scene when the white masters arrived, pushing the Indians away and began to hunt for Bruh Deer. The "beagles" of the "buckras" were running after him from one side, Bruh Alligator was waiting for him on the other side. But then, he made a sudden turn near the water, leading the hounds straight into the water for Bruh Alligator to attack. This saved him, and also provided some food for the hungry alligator.

In this passage, "boilin hard" means coming so fast, for the beagles were running after the deer in their attempt to capture him for their white masters.

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.
