Answer:

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 <em>The People Could Fly</em> 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<em> "Kum kunka yali, kum ..... tambe!"</em> 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.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

1. the acceptance of the church's authority

2. The Pardoner’s disregard for the poor reveals the Church’s hypocrisy

Explanation:

1. The feature of medieval life reflected here is the acceptance of the church's authority.

The Canterbury Tales has about 24 stories with about 17,000 lines. The work was written by Geoffrey Chaucer Geoffrey around a period of 1387 and 1400. 

The Canterbury Tales is medieval literature and has great poetic power and entertainment value. The tales gives insight into the different social classes of that century, including their clothes, languages and the recreational activities of the time.

2. Based on the excerpt taken from this book, I can say that the statement that describes the satire here is The Pardoner’s disregard for the poor reveals the Church’s hypocrisy.

Chaucer used Satire to expose the hypocrisy of people and institutions who instead of reliving the poor from their poverty and leading them on a part of spirituality, try to make profits out of their suffering and show less concern about their suffering. The pardoner is a part of the church and should share in the suffering of others but instead he insists on getting the best food and drinks from people in poverty. He also sells redemption at a price
