Answer 1

Answer:

People who are dedicated to a cause sometimes have to make sacrifices in order to reach their goals.

Explanation:

Harriet Tubman was a slave who not only took it upon herself to get her freedom by escaping from her masters but also helped other slaves to escape. And by sacrificing her safety and life for the safety of her fellow slaves, she became one of the most prominent and daring, brave woman who led many to freedom.

Eloise Greenfield's poem "Harriet Tubman" is a short poem about the lady who risked her life for the freedom of other slaves. The lines given in the question reveals how she (Tubman) had to sacrifice her close friends and companions in order to reach her goal of reaching the North and attaining her freedom. And added to that, she came back, risking her life, to help other slaves in getting their own freedoms.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
