Answer:
The caged bird sings; the free bird thinks
Explanation:
The pair of uses of figurative language from "The Caged Bird" that help support the extended metaphor of freedom versus oppression is "the caged bird sings; the free bird thinks".
Metaphor is a figure of speech which actually describes an action or thing in a way that is not literally true but it helps to make a comparison.
The use of "the caged bird sings" and "the free bird thinks" shows the comparison of the caged bird and the free bird. It tends to show what the personality does when oppressed and when free. They show an extended metaphor of freedom versus oppression.
"The Caged Bird" is a poem by Maya Angelou which is concerned with imprisonment and an inner urge for freedom.
Answer:
The letter <u>was written</u> yesterday.
Explanation:
Yesterday is a keyword that indicates the action happened and ended. Therefore, we have to use past simple tense.
That leaves us with <u>wrote</u> and <u>was written</u> choice. Last two choices are past perfect and they should only be applied when there consists of past tense in one clause —> e.g I had eaten rice before I went to bed.
Next, we have to understand between active voice and passive voice.
Active Voice
Subject + Verb + Object
An example of active voice is:
- I eat rice.
- I write a book.
- I hit a desk.
On the other hand, we have:
Passive Voice
Object + verb to be/have + been (if there is) + past participle + by subject (if there is)
An example is:
- Rice is eaten by me.
- A book is written by me.
- A desk is hit by me.
Active voice starts with subject causing something to object.
Passive voice starts with object being caused something by subject.
And we know that a letter cannot write itself so it cannot be a subject but an object.
Hence, the letter was written yesterday is correct, indicating that the letter was being done and not letter doing.
