Answer 2

Answer:

C - the entertainments attended by the narrator over time.

Explanation:

Primarily C, but with reference to D and A.

He has stated his motive at the beginning. This leads the reader to believe that the underlying current will perhaps not deviate from his resolution to get free. Regardless, he admits being impressed by the diversions and it appears he's willing to appreciate the beauty of his gilded cage in the meantime. This also leads the reader to believe there'll also be perhaps references to point A.

However, I am loath to make declarative statements because I am aware of the subjectivity of perception.
