Explanation:

To identify Maya Angelou's viewpoint about Mrs. Flowers, we analyze each phrase:

• "I sopped around the house" describes the narrator's actions, not about Mrs. Flowers.
• "an old biscuit" is a simile for the narrator's state, not about Mrs. Flowers.
• "dirty and inedible" describes the narrator's self - perception, not related to Mrs. Flowers.
• "threw me my first life line" implies that Mrs. Flowers provided help or support, which reflects the narrator's (Maya Angelou's) positive viewpoint about Mrs. Flowers as someone who offered a crucial positive influence.

Answer:

D. threw me my first life line
