Identify the element of magic realism found within the passage. the items in Lourdes's father's coffinthe colors and approaching darknessthe effect of the sunset on the brownstonesthe meeting between Lourdes and her dead father

The correct answer is the meeting between Lourdes and her dead father

This is a piece of magical realism literature because she didn't really meet her dead father since that would be impossible in a realism novel. A similar occurrence happens in for example Toni Morisson's novel Beloved where a ghost appears from time to time even though it's a realistic novel and does not try to be fantastical.
