Step-by-step explanation:

Socrates demonstrates that the prison inmates see the shadows as reality because they've never seen anything whatsoever; they have no idea that what they are seeing are shadows of object classes at the front of a flames, much less that these items are motivated by real things from outside cave that they've never seen, and thus the realisation of the world.
