This question is missing a few things. I have found it online. The metaphor we are to analyze is "one black wing / perched over her eyes." The answer choices are:
A. to tell about the way that Frida's hair moves.
B. to indicate that Frida has a keen sense of sight
C. to describe a prominent feature of Frida's face
D. to suggest that Frida has birdlike qualities
Answer:
The most likely reason the poet includes this metaphor is:
C. to describe a prominent feature of Frida's face.
Explanation:
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter who is, to this day, known for her self-portraits and for her eyebrows. As a matter of fact, the eyebrows are what the metaphor refers to:
This is for the woman with one black wing
perched over hey eyes . . .
Author Rita Dove compares Kahlo's eyebrows to a black wing. Her purpose is to describe them, their shape, thickness, and opulence. Kahlo chose to not touch her eyebrows. She let them grow and unite in the middle, and that made her face quite distinctive.
