From the excerpt you posted it looks like the writer's primary purpose is to persuade the audience to share his point of view.
This can be seen in phrases like "it seems to me that the decision is easy", where he implies that he has enough knowledge to see something that the Township officials are not seeing.
<span>Capulet: [to Tybalt] You are a saucy boy – is 't so indeed? – / This trick may chance to scathe you.
</span><span>Tybalt, the kinsman of old Capulet, / Hath sent a letter to his father’s house. . . . [Romeo] will answer the letter’s master, how he dares, being dared.</span>
In the second sentence, the adjective is delighted. In the third sentence, the adjective is large. The first sentence doesn't contain an adjective.
Hi again☺
I believe it is the last choice, "and dares to claim the sky..."
It shows that the bird has a daring, or brave character.
