English Language & Literature — CBSE Class 10 board question

The poem "A Tiger in the Zoo" describes the following disadvantages a tiger faces inside a cage:

1. Loss of freedom: The tiger is locked in a concrete cell, unable to move freely as it would in the wild.
2. Restricted movement: It can only pace in few steps around the cage, which is a far cry from the vast jungle.
3. Suppressed natural instincts: The tiger cannot hunt prey; its strength and ferocity are wasted behind bars.
