I know it’s not the second or third choice.

A bird without freedom would be desperate to get out, I think. 
However, acceptance might also be right because the bird realizes it’s freedom was taken away and can’t do anything anymore.

Elsa213 · Answer

The first choice might be correct since they use the word `sing` rather than `scream` or something showing desperation.

Ok I agree with you I'm going to choose A thank you for helping :)
