George's voice became deeper. He repeated his words rhythmically as though he had

said them many times before. "Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest

guys in the world. They got no family. They don't belong no place. They come to a

ranch an' work up a stake and then they go into town and blow their stake, and the

first thing you know they're poundin' their tail on some other ranch. They ain't got

nothing to look ahead to."

a) George is Lennie's older brother.

b) They are both on the run from the police.

Oc) They have probably been co-workers before.

d) George doesn't care about Lennie's feelings. Incorrect. The way George talks

to Lennie doesn't seem to suggest indifference.
