Question

Which of the following describes an incident which best explains why Slim feels the way he does about Lennie?

A. Lennie obediently takes the tiny puppy back to its den when George tells
him to.
B. Lennie doesn't fight back when George strikes him.
C. Lennie begs Slim repeatedly to please let him have one of his pups.
D. Lennie easily does the work of two men.

Answer 1

We aren’t given much context here; however, the best option to choose is option D.

Choosing the option that Lennie easily does the work of two men shows that Slim possibly admires Lennie’s strength and persistence. This could contribute to implications and feelings Slim has about Lennie.
