Read the passage from “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.” I have tried often to search behind the sophistication of years for the

enchantment I so easily found in those gifts. The essence escapes but its aura remains. To be allowed, no, invited, into the private lives of strangers, and to share their joys and fears, was a chance to exchange the Southern bitter wormwood for a cup of mead with Beowulf or a hot cup of tea and milk with Oliver Twist. When I said aloud, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done . . .” tears of love filled my eyes at my selflessness. What is the most likely reason author Maya Angelou included this passage? to entertain the reader with references to books to explain her viewpoint on the wonders of reading to provide actions that show her personality traits to persuade the reader of the benefits of the classics

The answer is: to explain her viewpoint on the wonders of reading.

In the passage from "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," Maya Angelou makes reference to "Beowulf," "Oliver Twist" and Shakespeare and expresses that reading makes her feel as if they invited her to hang out together. She perceives herself welcome into their personal histories to share their joys and fears and a drink or a cup of tea.

Answer:

- "early ripening rice"

- new irrigation techniques and systems

- planting new crops (cotton, tea)

Explanation:

Song Dynasty was a famous Chinese dinasty ruling from 10th till 13th century.

Among other things, this period is famous for massive agricultural improvements which increased crop production. Subsequently, that led to the increase in China's population.

Probably the most famous improvement was the development and use of "early ripening rice". This rice had a shorter life cycle which meant that it could grow 2 - 3 times per year, making more crops.

Also, new irrigation systems and techniques were invented which allowed the crops to be watered more efficiently and preventing drought.

We must not forget that China started farming other crops at that time including tea and cotton.

All of this improved farming making it one of the most notable legacy of the Song Dynasty.
