Question

read this excerpt from \the people could fly\.
the babe cried and cried, \pity me, oh, pity me,\ say it sounded like. sarah was so sad and starvin, she sat down in the row.
which historical fact is supported by this excerpt?
some enslaved people were able to escape from the plantations.
some enslaved people passed down stories through oral tradition.
enslaved people were forced to work under inhumane conditions.
enslaved people were kidnapped and forced to america on ships.

Explanation:

The excerpt describes Sarah, an enslaved person, as "sad and starvin" sitting in a "row" (likely a work row on a plantation), with a distressed baby. This points to the harsh, inhumane living and working conditions enslaved people endured: lack of food, emotional distress, and forced labor arrangements. The other options are not supported: there is no mention of escape, oral storytelling, or the Middle Passage/forced transport to America.

Answer:

Enslaved people were forced to work under inhumane conditions.
