How does the Warden describe the Savage Reservation?

• A. Five hundred and sixty square kilometers, four sub-reservations, high-tension fence connected to Grand Canyon station; touching the fence means death
• B. A fenced area of 100 sq km
• C. A city district with no fences
• D. An uninhabited wilderness

Answer: (A)

The Warden’s description is meant to show how the Savage Reservation is a tightly controlled, perilous boundary that the World State enforces to separate itself from the Savages. He gives precise details—the size (five hundred sixty square kilometers), the four sub-reservations, and a high-tension fence linked to the Grand Canyon station—and notes that touching the fence means death. This combination of exact measurements, fortified barriers, and a lethal consequence conveys both the scale of the reservation and the extreme measures used to keep it apart. It emphasizes power, deterrence, and the stark contrast between the ordered, engineered world and the dangerous, forbidden land beyond. The other descriptions don’t capture that sense of a meticulously guarded, deadly boundary.
