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.

Enslaved people were forced to do work under inhumane conditions.

Explanation: That is the correct answer because the first option is talking about how people escaped and in the excerpt it didn't mention Sarah escaping. The second option talks about passing down stories when it also didn't mention that in the excerpt. The third option is saying how they were kidnapped and forced to do work without consent, you can gather context clues through the excerpt to form this answer. The fourth option doesn't tell us they were forced on ships but it is almost a possible answer. I would pick the third option. :)
