Explanation:

their special treat was visiting the zoo

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is c.

Explanation:

It is because poverty was a cage in which all of them were stuck. The people hated being poor but used to find calmness in nature by looking at flamingo thinking that nature had created him to fly free.

And instead, nature created the people to be poor.  

They accepted their social status of being poor and remained in the cage forever waiting for a miracle to happen without any hopes as they had given up.

They were stuck inside the cage of poverty and they had accepted it.
