True Grit Practice Test

What happened to the express clerk during the Katy robbery?

He was killed when the dynamite blew the door. He escaped unharmed. He joined the robbers. He negotiated the ransom.

Correct Answer:

He was killed when the dynamite blew the door.

Explanation:

During the Katy robbery, the outlaws blow open the express car door with dynamite, and the express clerk inside is killed by the blast. That moment shows how dangerous and brutal the raid is, and it explains why the clerk doesn’t escape or cooperate with the criminals. The other possibilities don’t fit what happens in this scene—there’s no escape, no joining the robbers, and no ransom negotiation by the clerk.
