Answer:

C. line 8

A. The poet switches from third person to first person.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem "'Hope' is the thing with feathers - 314" written by Emily Dickinson is a great metaphor about the hope and soul of the human being. Emily begins the poem by talking about hope and how she is a bird caged in the cage of the human soul of all citizens, there he lives imprisoned singing only in times of greatest need.

Emily starts the poem with a third person narration, when talking about sparse, but between verse 8, she causes a narrative break and starts verse 9 with a first person narration, talking about herself and leaving the poem more intimate and private.
