• Thick, but tender

• Large and juicy, fresh

What desert did Pencey serve after steaks:

• Brown Betty

• Mousse

• Custard Tart

• Riz à l'impératrice

Holden, Mal Broussard, and Ackley were planning to go to Agerstown to:

• Meet with Jane Gallagher

• Have a hamburger and watch a movie

• Meet with another group and throw snowballs

• They didn’t really have a plan

Why doesn’t Holden throw a snowball at a parked car?

• Because the driver of the car warns him not to

• Because the car looks nice and peaceful while layered in the snow

• Because the car drives away before he can do it

• Because the snowball melts too quickly for him to throw it

How did Allie, Holden’s younger brother, die?

• Tuberculosis

• Sudden infant death syndrome

• Car accident

• Leukemia

Stradlater is furious at Holden for writing about a baseball glove, insisting that he told Holden to write about:

• A car

• A room

• A relationship

• A theater

Holden says he’s only been in two fights in his life and describes himself as a:

• Pugilist

• Philosopher

• Whinger

• Pacifist

Which of the following likely was not a reason that Holden was upset at Stradlater:

• He borrowed the faculty car, and that he could

• He wouldn’t tell Holden as much as Holden wanted

• He bragged about his date

• Because athletes stick together

Stradlater strongly punches Holden after:

• Holden’s first insult because it was about Stradlater’s sexuality

• Holden punches Stradlater

• Pinning Holden and warning him repeatedly

• Stradlater did not punch Holden, he only pinned him down

Holden looks at himself in the mirror after his spat with Stradlater while wearing:

• A blue winter scarf

• A red hunting hat

• His black and navy gym shorts

• A single white winter glove
