I 'm not very sure about this problem. What I did is observe a field contains no zero divisors. Because a ring that isn't an integral domain has a zero divisor, by definition, and a ring contained in another ring has the same multiplication, addition, and zero, a non-integral domain cannot be contained in a field.
