Answer 2

Answer:

b. held captive by his own lifestyle choices.

Explanation:

This is what the author most likely means when he talks about being "pinned and wriggling" on the wall. These words convey a feeling of entrapment, and an inability to move, advance or change. What this conveys is the fact that the speaker most likely feels trapped by his own lifestyle choices, which is an idea expressed in different ways throughout the text.
