Hah, ok maybe that was too much of a softball question! But yes, the answer is "D." I'll come up with something a little more challenging for next week! Thanks for reading!

All of the above and none of the above.
Cubicleswere not originally designed to imprison people, but they became ugly gray graves over time.
I am so glad to be out of the cubicle hell.
Cubicles are the shame and disgrace of humanity, second only to the Gulags and the Nazi concentration camps.
One day they will take their place in the history along with Auschwitz.
When the zombie drones wake up and revolt to break their chains.
