Answer 1

Hello. You did not inform the poem to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, you can find another question exactly the same as yours that showed the poem "Going Down Hill On A Bicycle, A Boy's Song." If this is your case, I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer:

D. A boy speeds so fast down a hill that he cries out to a bird that he, too, is flying.

Explanation:

The poem shows how a guy riding a bicycle feels like going down the hill at high speed. In addition to all the adrenaline and emotion he feels in this activity, he is able to perceive the action of the wind against him, crossing him and giving him such a great sense of freedom and agility that he believes he is flying, like a bird. In this case, we can see that the sentence that best summarizes the poem is: A boy speeds so fast down a hill that he cries out to a bird that he, too, is flying.
