Whose idea is it to leave the railroad car to escape the flood?

• A. Uncle John
• B. Mr. Wainwright
• C. Ma
• D. Al

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested here is how leadership shows up in a crisis and who takes action to protect the family. Ma recognizes the danger of the rising flood and the risk of staying in the railroad car. She steps forward, calmly informing everyone that they must leave the car and move to higher ground, taking charge to keep the family together and safe. This moment highlights her practical, steady leadership and her role as the family's emotional anchor in hardship. Uncle John is more preoccupied with his own guilt, Mr. Wainwright isn’t the one steering the plan, and Al tends to act more impulsively; Ma is the one who makes the tough call in that critical moment.
