Answer:

A. A conductor grabbed her arm with both hands and tried to force her off the streetcar.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "An Account of an Experience with Discrimination", the author Sojourner Truth goes through adversity for being African American when a streetcar conductor treats her as a possession and does not stop for her. In fact, he asks Mrs Haviland if she owns Truth as her slave, to which Mrs Haviland says that Truth "belongs to humanity", meaning that Truth is a human being and should be treated like everyone else.
