Which antonym for the meaning of the word “jacket”, as it is used in paragraph 36, best helps the readers identify to answer part a?

Paragraph is: “and why people can have such poisonous feelings about other people and then regret it. You know, on the other hand, it really does, it sounds to me like you were able to see a lot of these men in- kind of in a three dimensional way, that they were more than just a jacket, you know, more than just a rap sheet of things that they had done.”

Answer:

B) three dimensional

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the excerpt that deals withLaura Bates teaching Shakespeare to prisoners in a maximum security prison in Indiana.

We see from the excerpt that the word "jacket" means something like a mark, or a label that these men carry because of their crimes and bad deeds.

Antonym, a word with the opposite meaning, to this meaning would be "three dimensional", metaphorically meaning looking at prisoners as a people rather than just a (two dimensional) rap sheet.
