Willy asks Bobo, 'What happened in...' this town (where Bobo was supposed to go with Willy Harris...)?

• A. Des Moines
• B. Chicago
• C. Albany
• D. Springfield

Answer: (D)

The moment tests your recall of where Walter and Willy Harris planned to carry out their scheme. In the story, they intend to move to a specific town to open a liquor store, and it’s that town—Springfield—that’s invoked in Willy’s question to Bobo. Knowing this town helps you connect the dialogue to the subsequent turn of events, when Bobo explains what happened there (Willy Harris’s betrayal and disappearance with the money). The other city names aren’t the location referenced in that scene, so they don’t fit the dialogue.
