    • Because he got in a fight with Curley

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Because he's black
    Explanation
    Crooks is not allowed in the bunkhouse because he is black.

The answer implies that Crooks is being segregated and treated unfairly based on his race, highlighting the racial prejudices and inequalities present in the society depicted in the story.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that Curley's wife is happy staying at home. However, this is not true. Throughout the novel "Of Mice and Men," Curley's wife expresses her dissatisfaction with her life and marriage. She constantly seeks attention and companionship from the other men on the ranch, which indicates her unhappiness and desire for a different life. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    • Cushman

    Correct Answer
    A. Crooks
    Explanation
    Crooks is the correct answer because in the given options, Crooks is the only name that fits the description of being a black stable buck. The other options, Candy, Carlson, Curly, and Cushman, do not match the given description.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Crooks, a character in the novel "Of Mice and Men," expresses skepticism about George, Lennie, and Candy's plan to buy land. This skepticism is evident in his interactions with them, as he questions their ability to achieve their dream and warns them about the difficulties they may face. Crooks, being a marginalized character himself, understands the harsh realities of the world and doubts the feasibility of their plan. Therefore, the statement that Crooks is skeptical about their plan is true.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because Carlson does not accidentally tell Curley's wife about the fight between Curley and Lennie. In John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men," it is actually Candy who accidentally reveals the information to Curley's wife. Carlson is not involved in this particular incident.

    Correct Answer
    A. A brothel
    Explanation
    In Chapter 4, George, Slim, Curley, and the other guys are not in the bunkhouse or the ranch. They are also not at a rodeo. The correct answer is a brothel, indicating that they are at a place where prostitution takes place. This suggests that they have gone to seek some form of entertainment or escape from their daily lives on the ranch.
