Read the passage from “the caged bird.” 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. in “i know why the caged bird sings,” what does marguerite do when she feels the oppression the caged bird feels? she refuses to dress nicely for mrs. flowers. she refuses to leave the house. she refuses to eat mrs. flowers’s cookies. she refuses to speak to anyone.

The answer to the question above is the last option: She refuses to speak to anyone. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” is actually a book, specifically an autobiography, that was written by Maya Angelou and this is based on the authors real encounters in life. From the passage above, what Marguerite does when she feels the oppression of the caged bird is that she does not talk to anybody. This is because she knows the feeling of what a caged bird feels like. Hope this helps.
