In the scene with Uncle John, Ruthie and Winfield display which behavior toward him?

• A. Spends money
• B. Reads
• C. Gets drunk
• D. Falls asleep

Answer: (C)

This moment centers on how addiction shapes family dynamics and how children respond to an alcoholic relative. Ruthie and Winfield’s behavior toward Uncle John shows them being drawn into his drinking—watching, engaging with the bottle, and even participating in the scene around his alcohol. Their involvement illustrates how the kids are affected by his habit and how such chaos can pull them into the family’s unhealthy patterns. The other options don’t fit the scene because the focus isn’t on money being spent, on reading, or on the children simply dozing off; the emphasis is on their active, though immature, participation in the drinking moment with Uncle John.
