Which statement from the passage does the author include to explain why "Kum . . . yali, kum buba tambe” is important?

The statement that “these magic words remain the same” explains their special importance: they are a consistent part of the folktale, no matter who tells it. The other choices describe how the words sound, how a character flies, or how she experiences magic, rather than explaining why the words themselves matter.
