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.

4. Lennie kills Curley's wife on purpose.

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.

5. What does Curley's wife ask Lennie to do?

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.

6. What does Curley plan on doing when he finds Lennie?

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.

Submit
7. 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 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.

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

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.

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

Explanation

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.
