Bonus Knowledge
The word "confining" implies that the walls restrict the animal's movement and freedom, so the correct answer to Part A is B. The walls are limiting. This suggests that the animal's environment is not spacious and open but rather a restricted area where its natural instincts and desires may be curtailed. For Part B, the detail that best supports this interpretation is D. ". . . this animal was born in a cage." This phrase directly indicates that the animal's existence is constrained by its surroundings, reinforcing the notion that the walls serve to limit its freedom and life experiences.
