Who does Brinker have testify during the Trial?

• A. Leper
• B. Gene
• C. Finny's father
• D. Brinker himself

Answer: (A)

The scene tests your knowledge of who Brinker brings to the stand during the Devon school Trial. Brinker calls Leper Lepellier to testify, and Leper’s account is pivotal because he asserts that Gene pushed Finny from the tree. This testimony shifts the focus from an accident to deliberate action, revealing Gene’s hidden guilt and driving the trial’s confrontation with responsibility. The other figures—Gene, Finny’s father, or Brinker himself—do not serve as witnesses at that moment, which is why Leper is the correct choice.
