  • 2. 

    Curley's wife likes Curley.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that Curley's wife likes Curley, but this is not true. Throughout the novel "Of Mice and Men," it is evident that Curley's wife is unhappy in her marriage and seeks attention from other men on the ranch. She often flirts with the other ranch workers and feels neglected by Curley, which implies that she does not genuinely like him.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    A man once promised Curley's wife that he'd make her a movie star.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement suggests that a man made a promise to Curley's wife to make her a movie star. This implies that the statement is true, as it states a fact that the man did make such a promise.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Lennie kills Curley's wife on purpose.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because Lennie did not kill Curley's wife on purpose. In John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men," Lennie accidentally kills Curley's wife while stroking her hair. Lennie has a mental disability and does not fully understand his own strength, leading to the tragic outcome. Therefore, it can be concluded that Lennie did not intentionally kill Curley's wife.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What does Curley's wife ask Lennie to do?

    • Give her money

    • Dance with her

    • Feel her hair

    • Kiss her

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Feel her hair
    Explanation
    Curley's wife asks Lennie to feel her hair. This is evident in the novel "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, where Curley's wife seeks attention and companionship from the other men on the ranch, including Lennie. She often flirts with them and uses her beauty to gain their attention. Asking Lennie to feel her hair is one such instance where she tries to engage with him, unaware of the consequences it may lead to.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What does Curley plan on doing when he finds Lennie?

    • Shoot him

    • Arrest him

    • Beat him up

    • Lock him up in the asylum

    • Forgive him

    Correct Answer
    A. Shoot him
    Explanation
    Curley plans on shooting Lennie when he finds him. This suggests that Curley wants to seek revenge on Lennie for his actions or believes that shooting him is the appropriate punishment. This answer implies that Curley is driven by anger and a desire to harm Lennie rather than seeking a peaceful resolution or understanding.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

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

    • Tell George

    • Tell Candy

    • Run and hide in the brush

    • Hide in the barn

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Run and hide in the brush
    Explanation
    After Curley's wife is dead, Lennie runs and hides in the brush. This is because Lennie is scared and knows that he has done something wrong. He is afraid of the consequences and tries to escape from the situation by hiding.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

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

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Curley's suspicion towards George suggests that he believes George may be involved in his wife's death. This implies that there might be some evidence or circumstances that make George a potential suspect in Curley's eyes. Without further context, it is difficult to determine the exact reasons behind Curley's suspicion, but it indicates a lack of trust and a belief that George may have played a role in the unfortunate event.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

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

    • A dead mouse

    • Curley's wife

    • Crooks

    • A dead puppy

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A dead puppy
    Explanation
    At the beginning of Chapter 5, Lennie is alone in the barn, and he discovers a dead puppy. This suggests that Lennie's tendency to accidentally harm small animals has continued, as he had previously killed a mouse. The presence of the dead puppy highlights Lennie's innocence and lack of understanding of the consequences of his actions. It also foreshadows the tragic events that will unfold later in the chapter.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Curley's wife

    • Curley

    • Curley's wife

    • Crooks

    Correct Answer
    A. Curley's wife
    Explanation
    Curley's wife says "What's the matter with me? Ain't I got a right to talk to nobody? Whatta they think I am, anyway?" This statement suggests that Curley's wife feels isolated and misunderstood by the other characters on the ranch. She is frustrated by the lack of attention and companionship she receives, which leads her to question her worth and rights.
