Read the second stanza from the poem "Sympathy."

I know why the caged bird beats his wing

Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;

For he must fly back to his perch and cling

When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;

And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars

And they pulse again with a keener sting—

I know why he beats his wing!

In the second stanza of the poem "Sympathy," what can be inferred about the caged bird beating its wings is that "The bird would rather fly free."

  • Hence, the line from the second stanza in the poem that best supports the answer in Part A is "For he must fly back to his perch and cling."
  • This is because the poem is talking about how a bird that has been caged is trying to fly from the cage.
  • However, because the cage is locked, the bird is only trying to fly to the extent that its wings have drawn blood on the bars of the cage.
  • Also, this poem revealed that the bird wants to fly free, so it can go back to its perch, nest, or tree branch.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer for question 1 is option D "The bird would rather fly free." And the question 2 answer is option C. "For he must fly back to his perch and cling."
