Answer 2

In the passage from "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings", by Maya Angelou, the line from the passage that shows Maya Angelou's adult viewpoint is option d. it didn't occur to me for many years that they were as alike as sisters, separated only by formal education. Mrs. Flowers is everything Maya wants to be when she grows up and has the education that Maya dreams of having. When Maya looks back at both her mother and Mrs. Flowers she realizes that they were both alike, her mother only lacked formal education.
