14. When Scarlett is getting ready for the barbecue at the Wilkes' plantation, she tries on many dresses, but ends up choosing the green sprigged afternoon dress. Why does she reject the black bombazine dress?

From Quiz Scarlett O'Hara, Belle of the Ball II

Answer: she thinks it makes her look old

Scarlett rejects the black bombazine because she thinks it makes her look "a trifle elderly". The plaid tafetta dress has a grease spot on the basque, and she is afraid that even if she pins her brooch over it, Melanie might have "sharp eyes" and "be catty enough to mention it". The various cotton dresses she owns are not "festive enough for the occasion". Her lavender dress with its "wide insets of lace" is beautiful, but she thinks it is "too wishy-washy", and it would be better for her sister Careen. So, of course she must wear the green sprigged muslin!

15. In the movie, India Wilkes hates Scarlett because she stole India's beau, Charles Hamilton, from her. In the book, who is the man who left India when he became captivated by Scarlett's charms?

From Quiz "Gone With the Wind" Discrepancies

In the book, Stu Tarleton was courting India Wilkes when Scarlett decided to make him notice her. Thereafter, both Stu and his twin, Brent, were devoted to Scarlett, to India's chagrin. Then, at the barbecue, Scarlett steals Charles Hamilton from India's sister, Honey, who is not a character in the movie.

19. In the first paragraph of the novel, to whom is Scarlett talking ?
