Question

Read these lines from the poem and answer the question.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage.

The rhyme in these lines most likely conveys that _____.

the bird is trapped in more than one cage
the cage bars are stronger than the bird thinks
the bird is angered by being in the cage
the cage is protected by the bird

Answer 1

The bird is angered by being in the cage

Answer 2

The rhyme in the lines most likely conveys the following:

The bird is angered by being in the cage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Besides the fact it is said that the bird cannot see very well "through his bars of rage", which is a metaphor that indicates how angry the bird is for being imprisoned, "cage" rhymes with "rage", which is a sure sign that there is a connection between those two words and what they mean. The cage has an effect on the bird: it makes him angry (cage⇒rage).
