How to trap a queen

Can you trap a queen so it can't escape. Try this puzzle. Hint: bait the queen

If you succeeded, well done. You have trapped the queen at the cost of a rook.  You baited the queen with a major piece and the queen fell for it. Now your queen is free to wreak havoc on the board. Notice how the knight and a bishop can stop the queen from moving by protecting the pawns and the escape squares. Just don't fall into this trap yourself!
