down his narrow cage

can seldom see through

his wings are clipped and

so he opens his throat to sing.

Answer: 1. C) Singing and 2. B) Speaks.

Explanation: In the given stanza of the poem "Caged Bird" by Maya Angelou, we can see the description of a bird in a cage, incapable of moving (because his wings are clipped and his feet are tied) but even in that situation, he opens his throat to sing, which is the only act of freedom that he has. Just like the bird, when Marguerite begins to feel free, she speaks (equivalent to the bird singing).
