"But my bird sings!" denotes that

  • A.my bird sings sweetly
  • B.my bird is free
  • C.my bird doesn't feel free
  • D.my bird has regained her voice

Answer: B

'But my bird sings!' denotes that my bird is free.

The line closes the poem, where the speaker contrasts the cage-bird, a 'crippled thing', with a bird that is free to soar. Its singing is the proof of that freedom, and the speaker offers it as the answer to the cage.

'Sweetly' is a quality of the song and is not what the line stresses. Nothing says the bird ever lost or regained its voice, and the third option applies to the cage-bird, not the speaker's bird.
