Question

which excerpt from \first generation\ of dreaming in cuban is the best example of magic realism?
celia del pino, equipped with binoculars and wearing her best housedress and drop pearl earrings, sits in her wicker swing guarding the north coast of cuba.
her grandson appears in the doorway, his pajama top twisted off his shoulders, his eyes vacant with sleep.
her husband emerges from the light and comes toward her, taller than the palms, walking on water in his white summer suit and panama hat.
for many years before the revolution, jorge had traveled five weeks out of six, selling electric brooms and portable fans for an american firm.

Explanation:

Magic realism blends ordinary, real-world settings with fantastical, impossible elements. The correct option combines a realistic domestic context (a husband approaching his wife) with the supernatural act of walking on water and being taller than palm trees, which is the core trait of magic realism. The other options describe only realistic, mundane scenes.

Answer:

Her husband emerges from the light and comes toward her, taller than the palms, walking on water in his white summer suit and Panama hat.
