Gagarin was shut up in a dark room :
Answer: D
The key gives to feel like in a space cabin. 'As an experiment' is the nearest rival and is also defensible.
The passage calls the dark, silent room one of the ordeals of his training and says he would shut his eyes and 'imagine himself in a space-cabin in orbit'. The keyed option reads the isolation as meant to give him a taste of the loneliness of space flight.
It was not a punishment: the room is part of the training, and the passage does not say he did wrong. Meditation is not mentioned. 'As an experiment' fits the passage's remark that the training included experiments, so the answer rests on the key's choice of the purpose the passage comes closest to stating.
