Question

which sentence from \the people could fly\ reflects the historical fact that enslaved people passed stories down through oral tradition?
\they say that the children of the ones who could not fly told their children.\
\say the people who could fly kept their power, although they shed their wings.\
\say you couldnt tell anymore one who could fly from one who couldnt.\
\say he was a hard lump of clay. a hard, glinty coal. a hard rock pile, wouldnt be moved.\

Explanation:

To determine the sentence reflecting oral tradition of enslaved people passing stories, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: "They say that the children of the ones who could not fly told their children." This shows stories being passed down from one generation (children of non - flyers) to the next (their children), which is consistent with oral tradition where stories are orally transmitted across generations.
• Option 2: Talks about people who could fly keeping their power, not about story - passing.
• Option 3: Is about not being able to tell flyers from non - flyers, not story transmission.
• Option 4: Describes a person's hardness, not story - passing.

Answer:

A. "They say that the children of the ones who could not fly told their children."
