What does Ackley say about Holden's hat?

• A. It is a baseball cap.
• B. It is a deer-hunting hat.
• C. It is a magician's hat.
• D. It is a chef's hat.

Answer: (B)

This question tests your recall of a specific detail about Holden’s distinctive hat as described by Ackley. In that moment, Ackley identifies Holden’s red hunting hat as a deer-hunting hat, not any ordinary cap. This label matters because it shows how others perceive Holden’s unusual, standout style and reinforces the hat as a symbol of his desire to be different or protected from the world around him. The other options don’t fit the scene, since the hat is described specifically as a deer-hunting hat, not a baseball cap, magician’s hat, or chef’s hat.
