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?

Answer 1

The answer is the last one. Threw me my first line. Because that's the only choice that lets us know that she communicated with another person.
