Answer
A
Enslaved people saw themselves in the stories.
B
Enslaved people were forced to learn these stories.
C
The hero overcomes all trials.
D
Animal stories are difficult to believe.
E
The hero is clever and witty.

Explanation

Enslaved people could see their own struggles in Brer Rabbit, a vulnerable character who succeeds against more powerful opponents. The stories were appealing because he overcomes trials and uses cleverness and wit to outsmart others. The claim that enslaved people were forced to learn the stories is not a reason for their popularity, and the stories’ animal characters did not make them difficult to believe.
