Explanation:
The folktale of "The People Could Fly" by Virginia Hamilton tells tales such as when the African people were capable of magic and fly before they came to be slaves. The emergence of one man who helped them rediscover this ability led them to escape from their masters.
Among the given excerpts in the option, the lines <em>"</em><em>The folks were full of misery, then. Got sick with the up and down of the sea. So they forgot about flyin when they could no longer breathe the sweet scent of Africa"</em> reflects the historical fact of how the people were kidnapped and sent overseas to be enslaved. These facts can be known by the mention of <em>"the up and down of the sea"</em> which can only mean aboard a ship, traveling in the water. Further, <em>"they could no longer breathe the sweet scent of Africa" </em>also shows how far they were taken away from their homeland.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
