If you were starving, what would you do for food? "Condensed Milk" tells the story of a political prisoner in a Russian gulag (a forced-labor camp) who is faced with a choice: stay in the gulag—working and starving—or escape from the prison and risk dying. What choice would you make?

Historical Context:

From 1929 to 1953, Joseph Stalin was the dictator of the Soviet Union. His goal was to transform the Soviet Union from a poor society into a world superpower. He used terror and violence to rule, and under his reign, millions of his own people died in work camps, from starvation due to famine, or by execution.

Prisoners were starving is the detail to support the idea that Russian gulags treated prisoners cruelly. Hence, option D is correct.

What is the concept of the passage?

A political prisoner faces a number of risks, including forced labour, deprivation of food and water, and death. It would be preferable to try to escape rather than continue to be exploited if the biggest risk for a political prisoner who attempts to escape is also death, and he has nothing to lose.

Additionally, the historical context has shown us how Stalin became a political leader through the use of fear and violence. In this instance, those who disagreed with him were detained, tortured, and made political prisoners. By focusing on the lives of political prisoners, "Condensed Milk" used the period of societal oppression brought on by a dictatorship.

Thus, option D is correct.
