Which excerpt from Cristina Garcia's Dreaming in Cuban best exemplifies magic realism?
Her name is Minnie French but she's weirdly old-looking for a young person. Maybe it's her name or the three shopping
bags of food she has under her seat.
I stared at them, tried to make them go away. I remember thinking, Okay, I'll start with their hair, make it fall out strand by
strand. They always left wearing kerchiefs to cover their bald patches,
There were beef cattle and dairy cows, horses, pigs, goats, and lambs. Dad fed them molasses to fatten them, and gave
the chickens corn and sorghum until they laid vermilion eggs, rich with vitamins.
Our house is on a cement plot near the East River. At night, especially in the summer when the sound carries, I hear the
low whistles of the ships as they leave New York harbor.

I remember thinking, Okay, I'll start with their hair, make it fall out strand by strand. They always left wearing kerchiefs to cover their bald patches.

Explanation:

"Magic realism" refers to a literary mode that focuses on contrasting elements. For example, a supernatural thing that is occurring in a realistic world. Such elements of fantasy, myths and the like interrupts the logic of realism.

Among the choices above, "I remember thinking, Okay, I'll start with their hair, make it fall out strand by strand. They always left wearing kerchiefs to cover their bald patches" shows magic realism in a sense that it is happening in the real world but is contrasted by the fact that the narrator is equipped with the capability to make the hair fall out. This was the time when the she remembers how her nannies in Cuba called her "a little witch."
