Question

What happens to signal the shift from the story's present to the flashback? A The main character removes the deed of manumission from her pocket. B Cornwallis moves his soldiers into Virginia. C The boat pulls away from the harbor. The main character feels the ache of the wound in her shoulder. JW

Answer 1

The correct option is C) The boat pulls away from the habor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please reference the 3rd paragraph. As the boat pulls away from the habor with many still on land swimming toward the Nova Scotia, the narrator makes a transition from the present to the past then back to the present in paragraph 20 all the while reporting in the second-person point of view the story of freedom of Dorothy who is officially now known as Alexander Freeman.
