Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Maycomb women are wary of Alexandra when she moves in to help raise Jem and Scout.

Answer: False

Alexandra is welcomed by Maycomb's women with cakes and teaparties.

2. Atticus allows Alexandra free reign with his household, except for which area?

Answer: firing Calpurnia

Atticus remained fairly tolerant of Alexandra's interference and good intentions except when it came to Calpurnia. He simply could not see how they could have gotten along without her.

3. Who does Scout discover under her bed?

Answer: Dill

Scout was sorely disappointed to learn Dill could not spend the summer in Maycomb, and then she discovers him hiding under her bed. He had run away being so unhappy with his home situation.

4. What time do Jem, Scout, and Dill go to the jail to check on Atticus?

Answer: ten o'clock

Jem decides to check on his father, who had gone down to the jail to keep watch over Tom Robinson, and Scout and Dill tag along. Jem surprisingly defies Atticus and does not go home when he is told to do so, being concerned with his father's safety.

5. In what month does the attack on Mayella occur?

Answer: November

The attack happens in November, yet it is not until summer that Tom Robinson's trial actually began.

6. Bob Ewell is shown to be right-handed during the trial.

Answer: False

Atticus requests Bob Ewell to write his name on a piece of paper, which showed him to be left-handed. It seemed likely a left-handed man, like Bob Ewell, instead of a right-handed one, like Tom Robinson, would have left bruises on the right side of Mayella's face.

7. Who says she will not attend the trial of Tom Robinson?

Answer: Miss Maudie

Miss Maudie felt she had no place at the trial, seeing how she did not share the prejudiced views like the other white townspeople. Miss Rachel and Miss Stephanie undoubtedly did not want to miss any of the trial action.

8. Mayella is 17 when she is called to testify at the trial.

Answer: False

Mayella is 19 when she testifies at the trial, which meant she was more adult than child when she gave her testimony.

9. Why were the children not on the property when Tom Robinson supposedly attacked Mayella Ewell?

Answer: they were in town getting ice cream

Mayella had scrimped and saved for nearly a year to get enough money to send the children to town to get ice cream cones. They were all gone, as was her father, Bob Ewell, went she invited Tom Robinson to come onto the property.

10. Jem left the courtroom visibly upset by Mr Gilmer's treatment of Tom Robinson during cross-examination.

Answer: False

Jem may have been upset; however, it was the sensitive Dill who had to leave. Scout takes him outside and they meet up with Dolphus Raymond who shares with Dill a drink from his famed brown paper sack and also shares some of his philosphies about life in Maycomb.
