Which excerpt from The People Could Fly reflects the historical fact that enslaved people carried cultural elements of their country of origin with them to America?

A. Toby come over and spoke words to the fallen one. The words of ancient Africa once heard are never remembered completely.

Explanation:

Virginia Hamilton's The People Could Fly is a folktale from Africa that speaks of Africans as being able to fly and having the magical ability. But this ability stopped once they came to America as slaves, except a man named Toby who still knew the magic words with which he helped slaves to escape from their masters' plantations.

The excerpt that reflects the historical fact that the slaves took along their cultural element of their country can be best seen in the excerpt where Toby took hold of the fallen man and uttered the magic words "Kum kunka yali, kum tambe!" The ability to fly had already been forgotten by the slaves but with Toby's help, they were able to once again fly away from their bondage.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

the answer is a.

explanation:

the clause "looking toward the south" modifies "a funnel cloud." it's not really the cloud that's "looking," but grammatically, that clause is modifying the cloud.
