The caged bird in Maya Angelou's poem sings to express itself.

Maya Angelou’s poem “Caged Bird” is a symbol of African Americans who are "caged" in their own land by the whites. The symbol of the cage in the poem depicts the restriction of the society. Meanwhile, the caged birds sing the song of liberty and are compared with free birds. So that, the principal theme of “Caged Bird” is freedom.

Angelou's poem employs the metaphor in order to convey the idea that freedom is a natural state and knowledge of this fact cannot be undone by any amount of oppression or imprisonment.

Whatever the reason, a swell of approval palpable as rain lifted from the center of the crowd and rolled out toward its edges, w
Nata [24]

Answer:

A). His confidence is transformed by the crowd's response.

Explanation:

Characterization plays a vital role in conveying the intended picture or image of a particular character to the audience so that they could elicit desired response about each character accordingly.

As per the question, Scotty in the given excerpt from 'A Visit from the Goon Squad' is portrayed as the one 'whose confidence boosts and gets transformed by receiving the positive and encouraging response from the audience' by the author. The author begins the passage with presenting Scotty as a little nervous and quavering and he had to redouble his force in order to face the audience but the audience's cheer and the swell of approval from the center of the crowd gave transformed his confidence and brought the hidden 'strong, charismatic, and fierce' side of Scotty. Therefore, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

The heat of the one and the cold of the others preclude or precludes any possibility of life
Nata [24]

Answer:

Definition of preclude: to make impossible by necessary consequence : rule out in advance.

Explanation:

Preclude is often used in legal writing, where it usually refers to making something legally impossible. A new law may be passed by Congress to preclude any suits of a certain kind against a federal agency, for example. Some judges have found that the warnings on cigarette packs preclude any suits against the tobacco companies by lung-cancer sufferers. But there are plenty of nonlegal uses as well. Bad weather often precludes trips to the beach, and a lack of cash might preclude any beach vacation at all.
