The correct answer is A. it accompanies a story of slavery with a spiritual song that was sung by enslaved people.

The song "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" is a significant spiritual that speaks to the experiences and struggles of enslaved people, and its inclusion in Ty Smith's story adds depth to the narrative by connecting it to the historical context of slavery and the resilience of those who were oppressed.
