Read the following extract from “The Chicken”, by Clarice Lispector, and answer
question.
“The master of the house, reminding himself of the twofold necessity of sporadically engaging in sport and of getting the family some lunch, appeared resplendent in a pair of swimming trunks and resolved to follow the path traced by the chicken: in cautious leaps and bounds, he scaled the roof where the chicken, hesitant and tremulous, urgently decided on another route. The chase now intensified. From roof to roof, more than a block along the road was covered. Little accustomed to such a savage struggle for survival, the chicken had to decide for herself the paths she must follow without any assistance from her race. The man, however, was a natural hunter. And no matter how abject the prey, the cry of victory was in the air.”

Read the following passage from “The Chicken”, by Clarice Lispector, and answer question.
“But when everyone was quiet in the house and seemed to have forgotten her, she puffed up
with modest courage, the last traces of her great escape. She circled the tiled floor, her body
advancing behind her head, as unhurried as if in an open field, although her small head betrayed
her, darting back and forth in rapid vibrant movements, with the age-old fear of her species now
ingrained. Once in a while, but ever more infrequently, she remembered how she had stood out
against the sky on the roof edge ready to cry out. At such moments, she filled her lungs with the
stuffy atmosphere of the kitchen and, had females been given the power to crow, she would not
have crowed but would have felt much happier. Not even at those moments, however, did the
expression on her empty head alter. In flight or in repose, when she gave birth or while pecking
grain, hers was a chicken head, identical to that drawn at the beginning of time.”
Without loss of meaning, the word “ingrained” could be replaced by:
