Answer: B.) Omnisciently Third-Person P.O.V; or Omniscient(more than one narrator)in Third-Person P.O.V. Why? Two main characters are the narrators in it, who tell their point-of-views both in Third-Person!

Mental States/Immaturity. e.g. George\'s hot-headedness and bias towards characters; Lennie\'s disability. C.)

Answer: A.) both B.) and C.). Why? Both disorderly mental-states and indirect literary-devices severely make the narrators in-credible!

5.

True/False: \"two[unnamed]workers had been ditched \'10 miles\' from Soledad ranch, by a bus driver of Murray and Ready\'s, so they\'re heading \'north\' to it from Weed.\" ~Of Mice and Men(1937)

Answer: False. Actually: \"two[unnamed]workers had been ditched \'4 miles\' from Soledad ranch, by a bus driver of Murray and Ready\'s, so they\'re heading \'south\' to it from Weed.\" (George tells the Boss, \"[they]hadda walk ten miles...\"as an hyperbole (Steinbeck 12); Soledad is south from Weed, so they must have to head south (Steinbeck 1, 4, 48).)

6.

True/False: \"one was small yet defined, the other was big yet \'sloppy\'. The Big Companion and Follower almost ran over the First to fling himself and his blanket down, and drink from Salinas River\'s bank.\'\' ~Of Mice and Men(1937).

Answer: True. In this, it shows the \'Big\' one is sloppy, big, but also impatient and quite thirsty!

7.

Choose the best answer: \"Why can\'t Lennie remember where they\'re going, but remembers \'the rabbits,\' thinks he lost his work card and bus ticket, and little remembers his Aunt Clara? Yet, likes to stroke mice, and can remember what George has warned and ordered them?\" ~Of Mice and Men(1937) A.) There is no textual evidence to know why, but to know his persona; but that George has him repeat what he warns and orders of him, and when Lennie has broken the Wife\'s neck. B.) George has told the Boss, Lennie\'s not bright since he got horse-kicked. C.) No need to know why, nor infer anything, that\'s just Lennie\'s persona and exposition!

Answer: A.) There is no textual evidence to know why, but to know his persona; but that George has him repeat what he warns and orders of him, and when Lennie has broken the Wife\'s neck. Why? That may just be Lennie\'s persona, but we must be curious and press for why, even if there\'s no evidence! George has made him repeat(Steinbeck 4), and what George has told the Boss is a lie(Steinbeck 13).

8.

Short Answer: \"Who is Aunt Clara?\" ~Of Mice and Men(1937)

Answer: \'Lady\' who gave her nephew, Lennie, mice and a rubber mouse.

9.

Short Answer: \"who is Andy Cushman, the allusion that George warns Lennie with, to know how tarts and whorehouses set workers back from swinging their Futures?\" ~Of Mice and Men(1937)

Answer: Lennie\'s classmate in grammar school, whose \'lady\' gives the kids hot cakes, but is now in San Quentin on account of a \'tart.\'

10.

True/False: \"George will give the Boss their work tickets, but Lennie has to not talk but to stand there! Or he\'d know what a \'crazy bastard\' Lennie is!\"~Of Mice and Men(1937).

Answer: True. Fact: George makes Lennie repeat this two or three times(Steinbeck 4), after having told Lennie, where they\'re going again.
