2. Lennie kills Curley's wife on purpose.

Explanation

The statement is false because Lennie did not kill Curley's wife on purpose.

Lennie's actions were driven by his lack of understanding and his uncontrollable strength, rather than any intentional harm.

Submit

Explanation

The statement suggests that Curley's wife likes Curley, but the correct answer is false. In John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men," Curley's wife is portrayed as flirtatious and attention-seeking. She often seeks companionship from the other ranch workers because she feels neglected by Curley. Her actions and behavior indicate that she is not genuinely fond of her husband.

Explanation

Curley's wife asks Lennie to feel her hair. This is shown in the novel "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, where Curley's wife often seeks attention and companionship from the other men on the ranch. She approaches Lennie and asks him to touch her hair, which he does reluctantly. This interaction ultimately leads to a tragic event later in the story.

Explanation

7. What is in the barn with Lennie at the beginning of Chapter 5?

Explanation

In Chapter 5, Lennie is in the barn and he accidentally kills a puppy by petting it too roughly. This event foreshadows the tragic ending of the novel, as it shows Lennie's inability to control his own strength and the consequences of his actions. The dead puppy also symbolizes the loss of innocence and the cruel reality of the world they live in.

Submit
8. What does Lennie do after Curley's wife is dead?

Explanation

After Curley's wife is dead, Lennie runs and hides in the brush. This can be inferred from the events in John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men." Lennie, who has a tendency to get into trouble, panics after accidentally killing Curley's wife and realizes the consequences that may follow. In order to evade punishment and protect himself, he flees the scene and seeks refuge in the nearby brush. This action demonstrates Lennie's instinctive response to danger and his limited understanding of the situation.

Submit

Explanation

Curley's wife walks in on Lennie and the dead puppy. This is a significant event in John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men." Curley's wife often seeks attention from the ranch workers, and her unexpected presence interrupts Lennie's private moment with the puppy. This incident foreshadows the tragic events that unfold later in the story and highlights the theme of loneliness and isolation among the characters.

11. Who says "Wha's the matter with me? Ain't I got a right to talk to nobody? Whatta they think I am, anyways?"

Explanation

Curley's wife says "Wha's the matter with me? Ain't I got a right to talk to nobody? Whatta they think I am, anyways?" This quote reflects her frustration and loneliness on the ranch, as she is often ignored and dismissed by the other men. She yearns for attention and companionship, feeling that she has the right to talk to others like anyone else. Her statement highlights the gender dynamics and isolation she experiences, adding depth to her character in the story.

Submit
12. Curley is suspicious of George, thinking he may have something to do with his wife's death.

Explanation

Curley's suspicion of George suggests that he believes George may have some involvement in his wife's death. This implies that there may be some evidence or circumstances that have led Curley to doubt George's innocence. The word "suspicious" indicates a lack of trust or doubt, reinforcing the idea that Curley's belief is not based on concrete evidence but rather on his perception or intuition. Therefore, the correct answer is True.
