What is Winfield given for his stomach?

• A. Caster oil
• B. Milk
• C. Aspirin
• D. Fruit

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested here is how a caregiver uses simple, practical remedies to soothe a child. In this moment, Ma Joad gives Winfield milk for his stomach. Milk is gentle, easy to digest, and provides comfort and nourishment for a young child when upset, fitting the era and the family's resourceful, on-the-road life. Castor oil would be a strong laxative and could worsen discomfort, aspirin wouldn’t be given to a young child at that time, and fruit isn’t a remedy aimed at settling a stomach in this scene. Milk stands out as the safest, most reassuring option for a brief stomach upset.
