Question

Read the passage from “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.”:

For nearly a year, I sopped around the house, the Store, the school and the church, like an old biscuit, dirty and inedible. Then I met, or rather got to know, the lady who threw me my first life line.

Which phrase from the passage most helps the reader to identify author Maya Angelou’s viewpoint about Mrs. Flowers?
A. I sopped around the house
B. an old biscuit
C. dirty and inedible
D. threw me my first life line

Answer 1

Assuming Mrs. Flowers is "the lady who threw me my first life line" then the answer is D. The rest have nothing to do with that character in the poem. 

Answer 2

D. threw me my first life line
