Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The children decide upon which last escapade before Dill returns home to Meridan after his summer in Maycomb?

Answer: sneak a peek into the Radley house

The children decide to check if Boo really lives in the house by sneaking up on the Radley porch and looking in a window. They get spooked by a shadow and run for home.

2. What event startles the neighborhood into coming out of their houses at night?

Answer: a gun shot blast

Nathan Radley fires a gun shot into the air to warn off the intruders he saw in his garden. It is unclear if he knew it was the children or if he truly thought he had an intruder.

3. What was the explanation given for Jem not wearing pants?

Answer: Jem lost them to Dill in strip poker

Being so used to telling "whoppers", Dill was quick to come up with a story that would divert the attention from Jem standing around in his boxers while the neighbors were distracted by Mr. Radley's gun incident.

4. What did Jem find when he returned for his pants?

Answer: he found his pants mended and folded

Jem knew he had to retrieve his pants and it wasn't until later that he shared with Scout that he found them folded and mended waiting for them on the fence.

5. What reason did Mr. Radley give the children for plugging up the knothole in the tree?

Answer: the tree was dying

Jem and Scout had begun appreciating the gifts left for them in the tree. Finding Mr. Radley cementing the hole closed upset Jem more than Scout since he understood that Mr. Radley was cutting off any possible communication Boo might have with them.

6. Miss Maudie tells the children Boo is an evil man and to stay away from him.

Answer: False

Miss Maudie dispels the rumors and stories about Boo, informing Scout what a nice boy Arthur had been as a boy and if he was crazy if was probably due to being raised by such a harsh father.

7. The children made a snowman caricature of what neighbor?

Answer: Avery

Snow was a rarity for Maycomb and Jem made the most of it by creating a snowman that was part dirt and part snow. The children didn't much appreciate Mr. Avery and Atticus made them change up the snowman so Mr. Avery wouldn't get mad.

8. Scout was pleased to learn Boo Radley had placed a blanket around her shoulders so she wouldn't catch cold watching Miss Maudie's house burn.

Answer: False

Scout nearly got sick when she thought about Boo Radley getting that close to her.

9. What was Miss Maudie's reaction to her house burning down?

Answer: she was quite glad, since she had always disliked it

Miss Maudie confessed to being glad since she could now build a smaller house and a larger garden.

10. Of the various women in Scout's life, whom did she most prefer for company?

Answer: Miss Maudie

As Jem got older and kept less company with Scout she turned to Miss Maudie, whose no-nonsense nature appealed to Scout. Miss Maudie also gave Scout straight answers to her many questions.
