What is the Central Idea of this poem?

“Caged Bird”
by Maya Angelou

The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

Have you ever___by a dog. a. bit b.been bitten c.bitten d.bite

Answers

Answer:

Have you ever been bitten by a dog?

Explanation:

The use of the sentence structure "have+ been+ third form of the verb" is the present perfect form of a sentence. This means that the event or action happened in the past but is important or relevant in the present.

The given question "have you ever ....... by a dog?" will have the "been+ V3" form because it asks any past history of being bitten by a dog. Moreover, the question/ sentence is in the passive voice.

Thus, the correct answer to be used in the given blank will be "been bitten", making the full sentence as

Where do you think Percy is as of Chapter 10?

Answers

Answer:

Annabeth gives Percy her magic Yankees cap and he disappears down the aisle, just as the grandmothers are coming after him and his friends. They attack Annabeth and Grover. Invisible Percy tries to stop them by messing with the wheel of the bus. ... The bus explodes right after Percy, Annabeth, and Grover get out of there.Percy, Grover, and Annabeth are terrified by what they've just seen and done. Annabeth is mad at Percy for putting himself in so much danger; if he dies, her opportunity to go on a quest is over. Annabeth tells Percy that the only way to really test your abilities as a hero is to survive in the real, mortal world.He didn't try to persuade Percy (most likely) because he knew that his fatal flaw was loyalty. He knew he couldn't be persuaded and if he survived to be 16 he would remain loyal to the olympians. Therefore he try's to kill him to make sure he isn't the one spoken of in the prophecy.

3. Which statement supports the analogy "BLACK is an open umbrella" in "I Am a Black"? (You can reread the poem in your book.)
"1I am now an African-American."
"2I am other than Hyphenation"
"3We are Here, we are There."
"4And I Capitalize my name."

Answers

Answer:

3. "We are Here, we are There."

Explanation:

An open umbrella is all embracing and can thus provide shelter from the elements for all who need it. When this analogy is used for the black race, it shows that they are all-embracing and adapt easily to different situations and places.

The statement, "we are here, we are there," also harmonizes with this ideology because it shows how easily adaptable the black people are in many situations. It shows how all-embracing they are. The black race is ubiquitous as their presence can be felt everywhere.

Answers

The correct answer is B. The Port Harbor Bridge is a source of debate for the town of Port Harbor.

Explanation

Debate is a term that refers to a communication resource that focuses on the collation of different ideas or opinions on a certain topic. The objective of a debate is to present and argue an opinion on an issue to conclude. According to the above, the News Radio Program transcript presents the implicit message of a debate among the residents of Port Harbor, while some want to preserve the Port Harbor Bridge, others do not want to preserve it and each one presents their arguments as expressed in the next paragraph "Residents in the town of Port Harbor are divided over whether they should preserve the Port Harbor Bridge...Opponents argue that preserving the bridge will be too expensive." So, the correct answer is B. The Port Harbor Bridge is a source of debate for the town of Port Harbor.
