Answer:
Poems are one of the most transformative art which helps in transforming a person and developing a better understanding of the World.
Explanation:
‘This Is Not Who We Are’ is a work by the famous poet and novelist Naomi Shihab Nye. Poetry helps the readers to understand the world from a different and better point of view.

In this excerpt we can see how the situation happening inside the wagon is inhuman, because the people on the train are considered to be less than humans, more like animals, because their need for food makes them fight for something as minimal as a crust of bread.
One of the values that makes us human is the solidarity and the ability to share feelings with other humans. In this excerpt, we can also see that the passersby and the workers enjoy watching people fight for bread crumbs, therefore they have lost this value, becoming less human for it.
The options B and C are incorrect, because the passersby and the workmen are not sharing food rations with the hungry prisoners (only bread crumbs, that can't be considered rations), nor being kind with them. The option D can be also considered correct but is not as descriptive as the option A.
