This question is missing the passage and the answer options. I have found the complete question online. It is the following:
The tiger loved to lie in the shade, but he didn't have too many places to go. There were not many trees where this tiger lived. He ate well twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening. He was spoiled, as his food was always delivered and cut for him. Although he was safe and fed, the bored tiger was still missing something in his life.
Based on the passage, what inference should readers make about where the tiger lives?
a) The tiger lives in a zoo.
b) The tiger lives in someone's home.
c) The tiger lives in the mountains.
d) The tiger lives in the jungle.
Answer:
The inference readers should make about where the tiger lives is:
a) The tiger lives in a zoo.
Step-by-step explanation:
The passage is describing a typical life at the zoo for most animals. When living at a zoo, animals are safe. Their natural predators or other animals that may compete with them in the wilderness all live in separate spaces. At a zoo, animals do not need to hunt for food. Instead, they are fed by the staff. In the passage, the tiger does have some space and some shade to lie in, but that is all. There aren't other places for him to go besides the space that is designated for him. His life is comfortable, but there is something missing - freedom.
