"Yarbles" is Alex's way of saying "testicles". He then adds, "If you have any yarbles."

When the subversive author hears that Alex has been beaten by the police, he decides to use this information to further his political agenda.

5. While Alex is undergoing the Ludavico Treatment, he calls out to Dr. Brodskky that he's cured. He says that he realizes what about violence?

Answer: He tells him that the writer was punished and offers him a cushy job.

The minister makes the observation that public opinion can quickly change and can easily be swayed.

Answer: Alex's mother gave him the key.

Alex is well known to the police. Sometimes it's hard to tell who's the criminal and who's the victim.

10. After Alex completes the Ludavico Treatment, the minister announces that he's not interested in something, and that he is interested in something else. What were they?

Answer: Freedom of choice, and lowering the crime rate.
