In the window metaphor, closing the window means what?

• A. Air and other things can still enter
• B. Nothing can get through
• C. Air flows more rapidly
• D. The space within becomes larger

Answer: (B)

Closing the window in this metaphor represents creating a complete barrier between spaces, so nothing can pass through. When the window is shut, there’s no open path for air, germs, or other contents to move from one side to the other. The idea is protection through a solid seal—no passage at all.

If you compare to the other ideas: an open window would allow flow and entry; a partially closed window would still allow some passage; and the space wouldn’t become larger just because you close it—the seal actually reduces access. The key takeaway is that closing the window blocks passage completely.
