Ead the passage from “the caged bird.”

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.

which word from the passage gives the best indication of the speaker’s tone?

dreams
scream
wings
sing

The correct answer is: "scream".

The word, "scream", best describes the speaker’s tone in the passage. In the passage from Maya Angelou's poem, Caged Bird, Angelou describes the horror and misery a caged bird experiences when he is imprisoned. When Angelou  says: "...his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream", it can be inferred that the bird is "shouting" or "screaming" to be released and set free. Thus, compared to the other choices- dreams, wings, and sing- the word "scream"  gives the best indication of the speaker’s tone.

third person

explanation:

note the usage of names and pronouns, "james" & "the old man". this alone can confirm it as third person, as first person uses "i" and the like, while second person uses "you" and the like.
