What is the Central Idea of this poem?

“Caged Bird”
by Maya Angelou

The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

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.

The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

Read the passage, then do as required

Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes

imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. Life there is

simple and good. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. The other side

of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to

death or live like 'Robinson Crusoe', waiting for a boat which never comes. Perhaps there is

an element of truth in both these pictures, but few of us have had the opportunity to find

out.

Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there

longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Island to Miami to have it

repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly located a small rubber

dinghy with food, matches, water and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they

arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no

water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rain- water in the rubber

dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat.

They caught lobsters and fish every day, and , as one of them put it ' ate like kings' ! When a

passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had

to leave.

Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also
pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments. I have said that a fifth or
more of the species of plants and animals could vanish or be doomed to early extinction by the year 2020 unless
better efforts are made to save them.. As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the Philippines
and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. In the world as a whole, extinction rates are
already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man. They cannot be balanced by new
evolution in any period of time that has meaning for the human race.
What message does the author convey in this excerpt?
O Humans need to take action to end further destruction of the natural environment.
O In the coming years, humans will put forth stronger efforts to save plants and animals.
O The extinction of plant and animal species is problematic in the Philippines and Ecuador.
In recent years, the extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased.
