Answer: C) to show the frustration that comes with wanting something you cannot have

Explanation:

Here's the poem:

I know what the caged bird feels, alas!

When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;

When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,

And the river flows like a stream of glass;

When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,5

And the faint perfume from its chalice steals--

I know what the caged bird feels!

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 cling10

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!

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,15

When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,--

When he beats his bars and he would be free;

It is not a carol of joy or glee,

But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,

But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings--20

I know why the caged bird sings.

The poet uses the bird, the cage, and the woodland scenes to show the frustration that comes with wanting something you cannot have.

We can infer that the caged bird wanted to be free at all cost but couldn't. The bird beats his wing till its blood is red on the cruel. His wings are bruised and he hopefully prays to be free.

It shows that the bird was frustrated and wanted something which was freedom buy couldn't get it at that particular time.

Answer:

C) to show the frustration that comes with wanting something you cannot have.
