Answer:

The best answer to the question: Clara chose this excerpt to help support her interpretation of "The Caged Bird" because it has an extended metaphor that examines:___, would be: suffering.

Explanation:

"I Sit and Look Out" is a poem that was written by Walt Whitman and which makes part of the larger collection Leaves of Grass, published in 1900. This text speaks about the sufferings that the speaker sees in the world, as he does nothing more than observe such misery. "The Caged Bird", on the other hand, is a poem that was written by Maya Angelou, and it describes the life of a caged bird, its sadness and misery, the suffering the caged animal goes through, in comparisson with its counterpart that lives free. In both cases, we see one common denominator, and that is suffering, on one side, the suffering of so many people, and in the second, the silent suffering of a small bird that lives in a cage. This is why Clara could use Walt Whitman´s poem, and especially an excerpt of it, to analyzse Maya Angelou´s own poem; because both are related by the topic of suffering.
