Crooks shows disdain for George and lennies plan of having their own place because

Crooks, being a black man, knows the difficulty of having a dream not come true ... in owning land. He is also aware of the economic state of the country during The Great Depression, which Lennie is not aware of. He says he has seen hundreds of men have the same dream, and it never comes true.

The Answer is A. he is a realist and has seen many men with similar hopes and dreams.

I just took the test and i had to dissect quickly whatever the first person answered.
