Read the following passage from “The Chicken”, by Clarice Lispector, and answer question.

“But when everyone was quiet in the house and seemed to have forgotten her, she puffed up with modest courage, the last traces of her great escape. She circled the tiled floor, her body advancing behind her head, as unhurried as if in an open field, although her small head betrayed her, darting back and forth in rapid vibrant movements, with the age-old fear of her species now ingrained. Once in a while, but ever more infrequently, she remembered how she had stood out against the sky on the roof edge ready to cry out. At such moments, she filled her lungs with the stuffy atmosphere of the kitchen and, had females been given the power to crow, she would not have crowed but would have felt much happier. Not even at those moments, however, did the expression on her empty head alter. In flight or in repose, when she gave birth or while pecking grain, hers was a chicken head, identical to that drawn at the beginning of time.”

According to the text, the chicken:

• A. suffers with the stuffy atmosphere of the kitchen and the impossibility to crow.
• B. is a very special one because of her innocent colors and thirst for freedom.
• C. still shows to be afraid of being caught when hastily circles around the kitchen
• D. expresses her pleasure on having been free and sometimes makes new attempts to escape.
• E. is an indistinguishable and inexpressive exemplar of a species that does not change.
