    After Curley's wife is dead, Lennie runs and hides in the brush. This action can be attributed to Lennie's fear and panic due to the consequences of his unintentional actions. Lennie often resorts to hiding when he is overwhelmed or in trouble, as he struggles to comprehend the gravity of his actions. Running and hiding in the brush is his instinctive response to try and escape from the situation and avoid any further trouble.

    A. Shoot him
    Explanation
    Curley plans on shooting Lennie when he finds him. This suggests that Curley is seeking revenge for the incident involving his wife, in which Lennie accidentally killed her. Shooting Lennie can be seen as a way for Curley to take matters into his own hands and seek justice for his wife's death, rather than relying on the legal system or forgiving Lennie.

    A. Curley's wife
    Explanation
    Curley's wife says "Wha's the matter with me? Ain't I got a right to talk to nobody? Whatta they think I am, anyways?" This can be inferred from her desperate need for attention and validation due to her isolation on the ranch. Curley's wife feels ignored and belittled by the men, leading her to question her worth and demand the right to be heard. Her frustration stems from the patriarchal society she is in, which restricts her from freely expressing herself and seeking companionship.
