Identify the word nearest in meaning to 'constrained'.
Answer: A
The word nearest in meaning to 'constrained' is confined.
To be constrained is to be restricted or held within limits, kept from acting freely. In the line about the nieces being 'similarly constrained', it means limited in their freedom, as the aunt herself had been. 'Confined' has the same sense of being kept within limits.
'Arrested' and 'caught' suggest being seized or taken into custody, which is far stronger and more physical than being restricted. 'Laid' (the past of lay) has no connection with limitation at all.
