How are animals and humans prevented from leaving the reservation?

• A. An electric fence surrounds the reservation.
• B. A high stone wall surrounds the reservation.
• C. A moat and guards prevent exit.
• D. A gentle warning system deters leaving.

Answer: (A)

Control through physical barriers is shown by the electrified fence around the Savage Reservation. The fence acts as a harsh, immediate boundary that prevents anyone from crossing and signals the World State’s reliance on impersonal, technological enforcement rather than persuasion. This makes the electrified barrier the best description of how both humans and animals are kept inside or kept out, preserving the separation between the World State and the reservations. The other options don’t fit the depiction in the story: a stone wall, a moat with guards, or a merely gentle warning system wouldn’t align with the harsh, mechanized control the narrative emphasizes.
