After the attack, who remains on the ward?

• A. McMurphy, Bromden, and Martini
• B. Bromden, Martini, and Scanlon
• C. Ratched, Bromden, and Scanlon
• D. Martini, Scanlon, and Ratched

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is what happens to the residents of the ward after the upheaval in the unit. When the attack erupts, the staff respond and separate the residents, and not everyone stays behind. The ones who stay on the ward are Bromden, Martini, and Scanlon. McMurphy is removed from the ward for punishment and treatment, and Nurse Ratched isn’t a patient who would “remain on the ward” in the same sense. So the trio that stays behind—Bromden, Martini, and Scanlon—is the correct image of who remains after the incident.
