reread line 5 of the poem:
from street, from cage, and from kennel.
what do the street, cage, and kennel symbolize in the poem? (rl.7.4)
a struggles and oppression
b comfort and peace
c happiness and freedom
d transportation and relaxation

Explanation:

The poem "The Voice of the Voiceless" focuses on giving a voice to the oppressed and voiceless. The words "street," "cage," and "kennel" represent places where beings (likely animals or marginalized entities) face struggles and oppression. "Street" can imply urban hardships, "cage" implies confinement/oppression, and "kennel" (for animals) implies captivity or neglect. Option A (struggles and oppression) aligns with the poem's theme of giving voice to the suffering and oppressed. Options B (comfort and peace) is incorrect as these places don't symbolize comfort. Option C (happiness and freedom) is wrong as cage and kennel are not associated with freedom. Option D (transportation and relaxation) is irrelevant to the context.

Answer:

A. struggles and oppression
