Answer:
The option that best describes how Nehemiah survived being enslaved is:
A. by using his wit to charm people.
Explanation:
"The People Could Fly" is a collection of folktales by author Virginia Hamilton. From the excerpt, we can tell Nehemiah is quite a witty man. Whenever he is about to be scolded, he uses his intelligence to charm his Master, making him laugh. This way, Nehemiah avoids much of the suffering inherent to his condition as a slave. He gets away with doing little and avoids punishment for that.
