Q2.OK, locks and restraining tape are one way to restrain someone. But, suppose the nursing home administrator took Mr. Newman to a room with a steel door and bars on the window. He put him inside and locked the door. Mr. Newman didn't know it, but the bars on the window were not locked. All he needed to do to escape was open the window, push the bars out of the way and step out of the room which was on the first floor. It would have been so easy because the building was located next to a well-traveled highway. Under these facts, was Mr. Newman restrained? (Choose the best answer)
 
    This is not restraint because Mr. Newman was in fact able to walk out.    

.

 
This is still restraint because even though Mr. Newman could have walked out at any time, his possessions had been taken so he had no money for a taxi.

 
This is not a restraint because Mr. Newman could have investigated and discovered he had a way out.

 
It is still restraint because Mr. Newman was unaware that he had a way out.
