The caged bird is described as 'a crippled thing' because

  • A.its one leg is broken
  • B.it is not free to fly and soar
  • C.it is poor
  • D.it is wild

Answer: B

The caged bird is a crippled thing because it is not free to fly and soar.

The poem says 'a bird in a cage is a crippled thing', after speaking of the free bird that can 'wheel and soar'. The cage takes away flight, and that loss is the crippling.

The poem does not say a leg is broken. 'Poor' in the poem means pitiable, not lacking money, and 'wild' describes the speaker's free bird.
