Answer:
bad experiences
Explanation:
According to the excerpt, North Dakota symbolized bad experiences for Sofia. As she left North Dakota, she had no intentions of coming back, and this is most likely because of the bad experiences she had. It must have been so terrible living in North Dakota because she believed that her bird felt stifled.

The effect of the caste system is to create a society that has little social mobility.
Social mobility is the movement of individuals, families, or people of certain categories within a social strata in a society. Social mobility allows the social status of people to change relative to the social status of other people within the society.
Caste system limits or prohibits social mobility. You are already part of a caste even before you are born. Your caste is based on the caste of your parents and you are part of said caste until the day you die.
