Select the correct text in the passage.

The four terms in the passage that convey a feeling of suffocation are:

B- confinement: meaning to be restricted indoors. “...after the long day of confinement in the house...”

D- strained: exerting intense mental and physical effort. “...the children strained to get out.” Their strong effort suggests the environment inside was oppressively hot.

E- stifled: the sensation of being unable to breathe due to heat and lack of fresh air. “...in a way that stifled the children...”

F- choke: inability to breathe because of insufficient air or blocked airways. “if they didn’t burst out into the light and see the sun and feel the air, they would choke.”

Answer: The other responder is correct! The words are Confinement, Strained, Stifled, and Choke.
