Which character is most like a mockingbird in the metaphorical sense?
- A.
  
  Boo Radley
- B.
  
  Tom Robinson
- C.
  
  Atticus Finch
- D.
  
  Scout Finch
Correct Answer
B. Tom Robinson

Explanation
Tom Robinson is most like a mockingbird in the metaphorical sense because, like a mockingbird, he is innocent and has done no harm to anyone. He is wrongly accused of a crime he did not commit and becomes a victim of racial prejudice and injustice. Similar to a mockingbird, Tom is a kind and gentle person who is unfairly targeted and harmed by others. The metaphorical comparison emphasizes the injustice and cruelty he faces, highlighting the theme of innocence and the destructive nature of prejudice in the novel.
