Why do the policeman call Frank the Flower's cell "The Shooting Gallery"?

• A. There's a dartboard where Frank shoots truck drivers down. Sometimes officers would play with him.
• B. Because flowers are used as darts
• C. Because the cell is painted with targets
• D. Because Frank shoots flowers at guards

Answer: (A)

Think about a shooting gallery as a place where people practice shooting at targets. In this scene, Frank has a dartboard in his cell and practices shooting at targets, with truck drivers depicted on the board. Sometimes the officers even join in and play along. That combination of target practice and a social game turns the cell into a makeshift shooting space, so the nickname “The Shooting Gallery” fits perfectly. The other options miss the key detail—the presence of a real dartboard and the officers’ participation—so they don’t capture why the nickname is used.
