Answer 1

No, George and Lennie would not have been able to fulfill their American Dream because their dream was unrealistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks whether George and Lennie could have fulfilled their American Dream if Lennie had not killed Curley's wife. In the story Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie have a dream of owning their own land and living off the fatta the lan'. However, due to Lennie's mental disability and impulsive behavior, it is unlikely that they would have been successful in achieving their dream.
