Some sample questions from this category:

* Which of these women traps Gantry in a compromising situation and very nearly succeeds in ruining him?

* To which prominent American female novelist was "Babbitt" dedicated?
* George F. Babbitt, the title character, is asleep when the novel begins; how does Lewis describe his appearance in slumber?
* Babbitt's profession is real estate development and sales. Despite the fact that designing and selling homes is his livelihood, there is one aspect of housing about which he is supremely (and rather shamefully) ignorant; what is it?
