Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To determine how the author addresses the Savoy's historical importance to the Black community, we analyze each option:
- Option A: Describes dancers practicing outside the Savoy, showing its role as a cultural hub for Black dancers (preparing for the ballroom's opening, a space for Black art as per the note).
- Option B: A dialogue about hands having magic, not related to the Savoy's historical importance to the Black community.
- Option C: Personal feeling of being in heaven, focuses on personal experience rather than the Savoy's community significance.
- Option D: Personal reaction to the dance floor, focuses on individual experience, not the Savoy's role in the Black community.

# Answer:
A. "The dancers on the street practiced their dance moves till the ballroom opened." (paragraph 2)
