Answer:
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
This is the first time that the speaker tells us explicitly why the caged bird is singing: it wants to be "free." This sets up freedom as an important idea in the poem. This is a poem about a bird wanting, but not being able, to get free.
These lines continue the alliteration of the B words, in "beats" and "bars." B is a strong sound, and the repetition of this sound evokes the idea of the bird beating violently against the bars of its cage.
So, when we hear that really pretty song the bird sings in its cage, we shouldn't assume that it's singing because it's happy. As the speaker tells us, "It is not a carol of joy or glee."

Answer:
The correct response is Option E: 4 and 6.
Explanation:
The sentences in this passage that provide evidence are sentence 4, which gives examples of the kinds of careers where people might have to stay up late and thus sleep late. Shift workers are one example if they work the night shift and then sleep during the day. In Ben Franklin's time there was no electricity so it was much rarer to work in the evening hours or overnight. People got up early to take advantage of the daylight. In sentence number 6, they give examples of the disadvantages of working nights like being sleepy at the wheel or suffering from exhaustion.
