What deal does McMurphy make with Bromden?

• A. To buy Bromden a car.
• B. To pay Bromden's share of the fishing trip fee if Bromden promises to lift the tub room control panel.
• C. To pay Bromden's share of the fishing trip fee if Bromden promises to get strong enough to lift the control panel.
• D. To arrange for Bromden to skip his chores.

Answer: (C)

The main idea being tested is how McMurphy motivates Bromden by offering a concrete goal linked to a reward. In the scene, McMurphy agrees to pay Bromden’s share of the fishing trip fee if Bromden can get strong enough to lift the tub room control panel. This shows McMurphy pushing Bromden toward agency and physical strength, using a tangible challenge tied to a valued opportunity. The other options don’t fit because the deal isn’t about buying a car, nor is it simply a promise to lift without real strength, and it isn’t about skipping chores.
